Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
In addition to providing acute care, hospitals have many services for outpatients (those who require health care but do not need to stay in the facility). Clients who have outpatient surgery have the procedure, return to their hospital room for recovery, and then are discharged home on the same day.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Many rural health centers employ few health care providers, and primary care is often provided by a nurse practitioner (NP). A nurse practitioner may provide care in a long-term care facility or hospital, but in these settings, the NP is less likely to be the provider of primary care to clients.
