Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The best response for this client's situation is just to sit quietly with her and be available to talk when she is ready. Although the nurse might say, I'm so sorry about your diagnosis, that presumes that the client is crying about that situation, which might be inaccurate. The nurse should wait for cues from the client before proceeding. Asking Why are you crying? is too direct at this time. Everything will be okay is a platitude and may be inaccurate. It minimizes the client's current condition.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Under capitation, healthcare providers are paid a fixed dollar amount per person for providing an agreed-upon set of health services to a defined population for a specific period of time. If the costs of providing service are lower than the fixed amount, the provider organization makes a profit. Prospective payment is a payment mechanism for reimbursing hospitals for inpatient health care services in which a predetermined rate is set for treatment of specific illnesses. Admission criteria are used to verify the medical necessity of an inpatient stay. Personal payment is money for services not covered by insurance paid by the recipient of care; it may also include complete payment for healthcare services when the patient does not have any insurance coverage.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
