Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Entering patients' expressed wishes in the medical or clinical record helps ensure that the interdisciplinary team respects those wishes.
B Incorrect. According to regulations following HIPAA, the patient has access to his or her own medical records and may designate others to have access.
C Incorrect. The OASIS is used to measure outcomes for quality improvement purposes. It does not contain all necessary information for care, such as vital signs.
D Incorrect. The MDS should be completed jointly by all members of the interdis-ciplinary team.

Answer to Question 2

D
OA is not a systemic disease, nor does it affect joints symmetrically. Myalgia and stiffness are characteristics of PMR; however, myalgia is uncharacteristic of RA and OA. Joint pain is cha-racteristic of both RA and OA, but only OA is curable through joint replacement. RA is a sys-temic disease and affects joints symmetrically; therefore these are clinical indicators of OA, not RA.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
