Answer to Question 1

B
The dominant focus of patient care in the current health care environment is to contain rising costs. Hospitals, faced with financial difficulties, are merging into large health care systems. Managed care, an insurance-based approach to reducing costs, has invaded patient care in every setting. Nurses are challenged to deliver quality nursing care in an environment that limits con-sumers' options.
