Answer to Question 1

B
Case management coordinates patient care. Clinical pathways were an initiative to help reduce LOS (length of stay), enhance outcomes, and contain cost, but not through coordination of care. Primary nursing is a care delivery model in which a patient is assigned a primary nurse. Utilization review is a review of patient charts daily to ensure that the patient's acuity warrants continued hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

B
