Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Jeffrey Bauer proposed a change to healthcare by breaking the monopoly held by physicians over the delivery of health care, and place health care on the free market so that maximum choice and quality would be available to Americans. These exciting possibilities would affect nursing in favorable ways and increase nurse contact and availability. The idea to place health care on the free market would be counterproductive to socialized medicine, where healthcare is governed by the government and prices for healthcare are fixed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

While managed care is available, there will be fewer professional nurses in hospitals and more multi-skilled workers supervised by professional nurses. A multi-skilled worker is a person who is prepared to provide basic care under supervision but who is not licensed. Nurses will not supervise janitorial workers, physicians, or those in academia.
