Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Informational continuity refers to data exchanges among providers and provider systems and between providers and clients for the purpose of providing continuously coordinated, high-quality care. Instant electronic transmission of data links provider to provider, and health care event to health care event. Ideally there is an uninterrupted flow of data and clinical impressions between health care providers and agencies, with clients and their families, over time and space. Specific information follows the client from primary to secondary care settings and vice versa. The same client information is available to providers throughout the health care system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In 2010, passage of the Affordable Care Act brought unprecedented attention to the debate on how to best transform the nation's health care system. This historic federal legislation mandates increased access to affordable care, emphasizing the importance of disease prevention and health promotion in primary care settings and providing new consumer protections.
