Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Advocacy is always moving the needs of clients, families, and communities to a point of awareness that will advance change and increase quality of a life and experience. Care management is the coordination of a plan or process to bring health services together as a common whole in a cost-effective way. Disease management is a system of coordinated healthcare interventions and communications for groups of people with conditions in which client self-care efforts are significant. Disease management emphasizes prevention at the secondary and tertiary level using evidence-based practice guidelines. Interdisciplinary collaboration is sharing of evidence-based practice and skills by several disciplines as an integration strategy with clients and families in homes and other healthcare settings.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
Disease management often focuses on chronic illness such as heart disease, heart failure, diabetes, pulmonary disease, urinary incontinence, and asthma. In disease management programs, in addition to medications, there is strong emphasis on the use of telephone coaching, Internet resources, and intensive client and family teaching to advance self-care and adherence to wellness care. Recently, to help clients and families manage their health problems in an effective and efficient manner, there has been an effort to bundle disease states together in light of many comorbidity patterns. Supervising a cardiac stress test and administering emergency glucose are clinical interventions that go beyond basic disease management.
