Answer to Question 1

A
Omnibus Reconciliation Act (OBRA) guidelines mandate 30-day review after recent admission and quarterly (90-day) interdisciplinary team review. These time frames provide measurable time markers for goals. Responses B, C, and D are choices for measurable time frames but usually are not used because of the lack of framework for reviews at these intervals.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because of Mrs. Jacobs' increasing confusion and incontinence, a skilled nursing facility would be the most appropriate placement. Hospitalization (response D) is inappropriate because Mrs. Jacobs is not experiencing a life-threatening process that needs intensive medical evaluation and treatment. A retirement center (response A) and an intermediate care facility (response B) would not provide enough supervision for Mrs. Jacobs.

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.
