Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cost reimbursement rates under government plans are based on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), which is a system that classifies patients by age, diagnosis, and surgical procedure, producing 300 different categories used in predicting the use of hospital resources, including length of stay.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Logging off closes the computer file that was opened with the nurse's password. Any other data entry will require that person to sign on with their password.
