Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect because foreclosures and bank-ruptcy do not directly affect hospital care.
B Correct because uncertainty and unpre-dictability is rampant in acute-care institu-tions.
C Incorrect because anxiety and depression may be more hospital care.
D Incorrect because managed care and end-of-life care have been around for multiple years and are not directly affect-ing acute care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D

Feedback
A Incorrect because there are per diem and float nurses who can staff this unit.
B Incorrect because infectious disease phy-sicians and public health specialists are experienced with rare infection manage-ment.
C Incorrect because there are other educated and experienced people at the institution.
D Correct because a community disaster that sends 78 people with major life-threatening injuries to one hospital is a wild card in that it is extremely rare for that many acutely ill people to be using one hospital's resources at the same time.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
