Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The primary goal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to reduce the number of Americans without health insurance and thus improve the number of people who have full access to healthcare.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The patient requiring ongoing skilled-nursing observation would be most appropriately transferred to an extended care facility, specifically one that provides skilled care. The patient recovered enough to return to work and daily life would be discharged to home. The child burned in a fire after losing both parents to the tragedy would require acute care initially. The patient who needs minimal assistance in performing activities of daily living but cannot live alone would be appropriate for an assisted-living center, where minimal assistance and no constant supervision are provided.
