Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: A fixed budget is one in which budgeted amounts are set regardless of changes that occur during the year, such as patient volume or program activities.
Rationale 2: An incremental or line-by-line budget lists each expense item or category on a separate expense line. It is not possible to tell from this description if the budget is incremental.
Rationale 3: A variable budget is developed with the understanding that adjustments to the budget may be made during the year based on changes in revenue, patient census, utilization of supplies, and other expenses.
Rationale 4: A zero-based budget assumes the base for projecting next year's budget is zero. It is not possible to tell if the budget being described is a zero-based budget.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Electronic health records (EHRs) can reduce redundancies by allowing a clients complete
record to be kept in one place, to be accessed by those who are treating the client. They reduce
errors, decrease costs, and increase efficiency by having a complete record for use when
needed.
