Answer to Question 1

Answer: C, D

Interdisciplinary teams are used in many settings outside the hospital, including schools, the workplace, and long-term care facilities. PACE supports and facilitates the provision of all services and care for the elderly. Outpatient clinics coordinate medical care, supplies, and social services referrals. ACT is a mental health support and treatment program. The YMCA is a fitness facility. Meals on Wheels provides a service but is not an interdisciplinary program.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, D

Prioritization means more than just making decisions about which interventions to do first, second, or third. Factors that influence prioritization include client condition, safety factors, available time, and client preferences. A change in client status may very well require reevaluating priorities and changing the planned order of interventions. Nurses can be fair in their allocation of time, attention, and skills to ensure client safety. Time priorities are determined by the urgency of completing the interventions for the clients. The nurse should strive to honor the client's wishes as much as possible and complete nursing interventions as needed. The time of day is not considered a factor that influences prioritization.
