Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. The Triple Aim identified by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement is to improve population health, enhance patient experience of care, and reduce or control costs. The population health nurse would help achieve these aims by teaching the population ways to improve health, structure care delivery so that the patient experience is enhanced, and critically analyze the utilization of health resources when providing care. Supporting the delivery of population health services at the state level and negotiating with voluntary agencies for grant money to help provide care are not actions that support the triple aim.
