Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Long-term-care facilities are used for rehabilitation and care needed for extended periods. There is no evidence that this client will be unable to care for self after recovery.
Rationale 2: The public health department's focus is usually community health, not individual primary care.
Rationale 3: Temporary service agencies are used to provide health care organizations with professional and nonprofessional personnel when the latter are short staffed.
Rationale 4: With shorter hospital stays, home health agencies are frequently used to provide clients with intermittent or temporary follow-up care such as wound care and bathing.
