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.
