Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The goal of INTERACT II, developed by the Georgia Quality Improvement Organization (QIO), is to decrease avoidable hospital readmission rates from home care and skilled nursing facilities. The goal of Home Health Quality Improvement National Campaign and Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes is to improve clients' self-management of oral medications and improve care and transfers from one healthcare setting to another. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) is working to ensure that beneficiaries receive the right care at the right time in the right setting, while reducing avoidable or unnecessary rehospitalizations.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client needs only a minor dressing. Someone should be available to drive the client home after surgery. Only one stitch is necessary in one or two incisions, and it is absorbable, not nonabsorbable, so the woman does not need to return to the surgeon for stitch removal. Tubal ligation is an effective procedure for permanent sterilization in women.
