Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Economics is one of the social forces currently influencing the profession of nursing. As a result of the shift from inpatient to outpatient care, more nurses are being employed in community-based health settings. Other forces include consumer demands, family structure, and science and technology. DRGs are a classification system that categorically establishes pretreatment billing based on diagnosis. Though this is an aspect of economic factors affecting nursing, it is not the underlying cause of more personnel being employed in community-based settings.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Teenage mothers have the normal needs of teenagers as well as those of new mothers, with motherhood compounding the difficulties of adolescence. Though many teenage mothers are raising children alone, without the support of the baby's father or perhaps their own family, and many live in poverty, all are vulnerable because of their age.
