Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
COC is the term used to describe a multidimensional longitudinal construct in health care that emphasizes seamless provision and coordination of client-centered high-quality care across clinical settings. COC operates across three dimensions: (1) relational, (2) informational, and (3) management continuity. These dimensions are interdependent, essential components of client care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Relational continuity refers to the interpersonal elements of the COC model across time and care settings. The term applies to nurse client/family relationships, team relationships, and relationships between health system providers and community-based supports. The stronger the relationships, the greater are the potential for quality-coordinated care. Respect for client and family values, beliefs, knowledge, cultural background, and preferences are fundamental aspects of client-centered relational continuity. Trusting relationships with a primary provider or medical home health care team gives clients confidence that their care needs will be consistently met.
