Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) are used to determine the payment for each
Medicare client admitted to the hospital. Payment is not determined using resource allocation
groups, minimum data sets, or capitation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Occupational Therapists are educated in the assessment and management of ADLs,
especially when assistive devices are required. A physical therapist focuses primarily on
mobility and would not introduce assistive devices aimed at achieving ADLs. Osteopaths and
dietitians would not manage the use of assistive devices.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
