Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The goals of developing the Omaha System were to develop a structured and comprehensive system that could be both understood and used by members of various disciplines and to foster collaborative practice. Therefore, the Omaha System was designed to guide practice decisions, sort and document pertinent client data uniformly, and provide a framework for an agency-wide, multidisciplinary clinical information management system capable of meeting the daily needs of clinicians, managers, and administrators.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The ANA publishes scope and standards for Home Health Nursing and Hospice and Palliative Nursing. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services control the regulations and reim-bursement mechanisms for the majority of home care services. The Robert Wood Johnson Foun-dation provides grant funding for a variety of projects that support nursing. The Visiting Nurse Association is a home care agency.
