Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Outpatient services are appropriate for clients who are medically stable but who require diagnostic testing, such as a colonoscopy. Clients in active labor and clients who are actively septic or suicidal require close monitoring and frequent interventions, which can only be safely provided on an inpatient basis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Hospitals have become acute care providers for people who are too ill to care for themselves at home, who are severely injured, who require surgery or complicated treatment, or who are having babies. Hospitals rarely focus on chronic illnesses, and they are not primary care centers. Hospitals are not classified as voluntary agencies.
