Answer to Question 1

A
Fire prevention in a health care facility requires knowing what can cause a fire and removing the cause, as well as knowing how to protect clients should a fire occur. Class A extinguishers are used to put out ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth, and paper.

Answer to Question 2

A
Medicaid is a form of insurance for low-income families. Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for people greater than 65 years of age. Private insurance is a fee-for-service plan. A managed care organization (MCO) provides care to a specific group of voluntarily enrolled patients.
