Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and cli-ent decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. Clinical practice guidelines are not used to create agency policies and procedures or to assist in documentation of assessment findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Information about the number of clients seen daily, the immunizations given, home visits made daily, and transportation and mileage can be found in the provider service record. The clinical record is the client health record. The financial record is from the agency and contains infor-mation about the salaries, overhead, and transportation costs. The central index system is a data filing system that indicates the services requested, services offered, active and inactive clients of the agency, and a profile of the agency's clients.
