Answer to Question 1
B
Applying for and receiving magnet hospital status from the American Nurses Association shows a facility meets or exceeds eight standards of care and can be used to publicize the quality of nursing services in that facility.
Advertising nursepatient ratios would give the public some information about nursing quality, but many individuals would not understand the implications of specific nursepatient ratios.
Hiring more advanced practice nurses would not specifically demonstrate that the hospital had met or exceeded professional standards.
Publishing complication rates for specific procedures or populations of patients would be valuable information to some consumers, but this often reflects medical care more than nursing care.
Answer to Question 2
C, D, E
Consumers, or patients, may bring DTC genetic test results to their health care providers, but these providers might not be knowledgeable enough to interpret the results for them.
Consumers probably do not have enough knowledge about genetic testing to accurately interpret the results of DTC genetic testing, which can cause confusion and fear.
Without professional assessment and guidance, consumers may be swayed into ordering inappropriate genetic testing.
It is possible that a physician might not accept the findings of the tests, but this is not one of the recognized concerns regarding DTC testing.
It is possible that private firms may be more expensive, but this is not one of the recognized concerns regarding DTC testing.
