Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Multidisciplinary teams led by a case manager are at the heart of successful case management. Case management is essential when a client has multiple care needs and requires the services of multiple providers. The goal of case management is to reach and then maintain the individual's optimum level of health, quality of life, and activities of daily living by ensuring that the individual's healthcare needs are met. The case manager may be a nurse, a social worker, or another healthcare team member. Case management enables clients to experience continuity of care, regardless of the location at which the care is provided. This activity on behalf of a client may be limited to a hospitalization or may occur across settings for clients receiving care in the community and/or at home.
