Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Medicaid is a federally funded, state-operated program of medical assistance to people with low incomes. Individual states determine eligibility and benefits.
This option describes Medicare.
This option describes Medicare Part A.
This option does not describe Medicaid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Health care providers are defining and measuring quality in terms of outcomes. An outcome is a measure of what actually does or does not happen as a result of a process of care.
The focus in quality health care is on the outcome, not the process.
Quality health care is not used exclusively in the acute care setting. It may be used in various health care settings.
Because quality health care is based on achieving outcomes, it does not allow a high degree of flexibility for the nurse in delivering care.
