Answer to Question 1

B
According to Starfield (1998), both clinicians and patients need to work together to appropriately
utilize services based upon these four foundations of primary care: first contact (conduct the initial
evaluation and the plan for the dysfunction, treatment options, and health goals), longitudinality
(maintaining the clinician-patient relationship continuously over time), comprehensiveness (managing
the wide range of needs for each patient), and coordination (care is organized and integrated, thus
eliminating duplication of services).

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Nursing tasks can be divided into three categories regarding their ability to be delegated: tasks that can be delegated, tasks that cannot be delegated, and tasks that are not commonly delegated, but can be if the staff has received additional training, speciality credentialing, and/or competency testing. Some nursing tasks that cannot be delegated include: 1) patient assessment; 2) health teaching and counseling; 3) evaluation of patient's response; 4) planning of nursing care; and 5) implementation of patient care that requires judgment.
