Answer to Question 1

B
Case management coordinates patient care. Clinical pathways were an initiative to reduce LOS,
enhance outcomes, and contain costs; however, these were not achieved through coordination of care.
Primary nursing is a care delivery model where the patient is assigned a primary nurse. Utilization
review is a review of patient charts daily to ensure the patients' acuity warrants continued
hospitalization.
