Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The majority of health care provided to childbearing women and their families takes place outside of hospital in clinics, offices, community-based organizations, and private homes.
Rationale 2: Primary care includes health promotion and illness prevention, and it features services that are best provided in community-based settings.
Rationale 3: While nurses are the major providers of home care services, healthcare providers in various other fields, such as physical therapy, also offer home care services.
Rationale 4: As third-party payers begin to recognize the importance of primary care in containing costs and maintaining health, community-based care has increased.
