Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Assisting a client to identify the closest facility to have a required diagnostic test is an example of navigating the health care system. Assisting the client is not an example of client advocacy, client safety, or linking with community resources.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. A tiered case management system comprised of three levels. The first level is designed to provide self-care support for the bulk of the population needing services. The second level of case management involves high-risk disease management and might be appropriate for brittle diabetics or women with high-risk pregnancies who require more intense services and more frequent monitoring. The third level addresses care of clients with complex needs who require a broad array of services such as the client with renal failure, anemia, and chronic pain from osteoarthritis. There is no fourth tier in the tiered case management system.
