Answer to Question 1

Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) were created to efficiently manage health care costs while providing quality care. An HMO is a type of managed care plan with the goal of providing wellness care and not focusing on the illness during the provision of care. HMOs do not ensure payment is made to Medicare for services rendered. HMOs also do not maximize the utilization of health care resources but rather uses financial incentives to decrease care costs.

Virginia Henderson's theory of nursing is to help people achieve health or a peaceful death so that they can be independent from the nurse's assistance as quickly as possible.
