Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Managed care describes a health care system whose goals are to provide cost-effective, quality care that focuses on decreased costs and improved outcomes for groups of clients.
Rationale 2: Case management describes a range of models for integrating health care services for individuals or groups. This is not the model described in the scenario.
Rationale 3: Differentiated practice is a system in which the best possible use of nursing personnel is based on their educational preparation and resultant skill sets. This is not the model described in the scenario.
Rationale 4: Patient-focused care is a delivery model that brings all services and care providers to the client. This is not the model described in the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Lack of social support contributes to health problems in general.
