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.
