Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Assisted living is a type of community-based care that combines quasi-independent living with the availability of nursing care onsite and through home care visits. It is generally a level of care for people who cannot live on their own, but are not yet ready for a nursing home. This type of living arrangement is different from living independently in one's own apartment, such as living in a senior living facility, in that many activities are provided communally (e.g., eating, recreation) and there is an organized effort to create a caring community where residents' needs are supervised and met.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Care management is the coordination of a plan or process to bring health services together as a common whole in a cost-effective way. Case management is the development and coordination of care for a selected client and family. Home healthcare is a provision of healthcare that occurs in the setting clients consider their home. Interdisciplinary collaboration is the sharing of evidenced-based practice and skills as an integration strategy with clients and families in homes and other healthcare settings.
