Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse is also responsible for corrective action in case of an error.

Answer to Question 2

C
Capitation is a fixed dollar amount that a health plan or provider is paid to furnish specific kinds of medical services that an insured person needs, regardless of the volume of care needed (Gri-maldi, 1996, p. 5). Capitation is a mechanism for paying health care providers that transfers fi-nancial risk to the provider and away from the health plan or covered individual. In the primary care setting, flat rates are paid for providing health services to a defined population over a set period. Providers receive a set amount per month regardless of the amount of care that is deli-vered.
