Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The first stage, outcomes analysis, enables an agency to compare its performance to a national sample, identify factors that may affect outcomes, and identify final outcomes that show im-provement in or stabilization of a client's condition. The second stage, outcomes enhancement, enables the agency to select specific client outcomes and determine strategies to improve care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Transitional care ensures the coordination and continuity of health care as clients transfer be-tween different locations and different levels of care in the same location. High-intensity transi-tional care programs are designed for populations who have complex or high-risk health prob-lems.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
