Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The shorter length of stay in acute care (not long-term care) facilities, as well as the increase in ambulatory surgery and outpatient clinics, has resulted in more acute and chronically ill people residing in the community who need professional nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, D
Feedback:
Home monitoring devices are becoming necessities, due in part to the aging population, the rising number of people with chronic (not acute) conditions, and the need to increase healthcare delivery to medically underserved populations. Advances in technology, specifically medical devices, sensors, and high-speed telecommunication networks, have made it possible to assess clients' conditions remotely in their homes, either by storing information for later access or by performing assessments in real time using Internet video systems. The number of older adults in the United States is increasing, not declining.
