Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
In contrast to admissions for skilled nursing care that are associated with a hospitalization, admissions to long-term care commonly occur after a period of gradual decline in functioning because of a chronic condition, such as dementia. Studies indicate that more severe functional limitations, cognitive impairment, and problematic behaviors in people with dementia are predictors of admission to nursing facilities for long-term care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D, E
Nurses who provide skilled home care services typically assume a primary coordinating role with a multidisciplinary team. Nursing responsibilities include referrals for additional services. Nurses direct their interventions toward the caregivers providing teaching about interventions, and they address needs of the caregiver related to information about resources and ways to reduce caregiver stress.
