Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4

Interventions include development of an evidence-based plan of care, ongoing support, and an emphasis on early identification of and response to risks and symptoms to avoid adverse events. It is not the nurse's responsibility to perform billing duties or review health insurance coverage plans.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5

For people with chronic illnesses, the goal of the PCMH is to provide comprehensive care with a focus on preventing acute disease crises. One facet of the PCMH is increased preventive services. PCMH is designed to provide comprehensive and coordinated patient and family care. The patient-centered medical home is a primary care model that focuses on all levels of illness prevention. Health insurance billing is not a facet of this care delivery model.
