Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Some of the biggest benefits of computer documentation are that it is quicker than traditional charting, that it is more accurate and timelier, and that client information can be transferred rapidly from one healthcare setting to another.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,497,027

The simplest method for determining a budget is the flat percentage increase that develops a budget based on year-to-date expenses and multiplies it by the inflation rate. If the current year's spending is 1,425,740 the manager should multiply this figure by 5 and then add that value to the current spending figure, or: 1,425,740 5 = 71,287 + 1,425,740 = 1,497,027.
