Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. A case management plan is a series of expected outcomes of care and related activities that address the contribution of each discipline involved in the care of a particular patient or population. Effective case management plans are interdisciplinary and flexible and address clients' needs in a comprehensive fashion. The plans are not generic, static, or time-limited.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Disease management is the process of intensively managing a particular disease across different care settings. Case management is assisting the same client to meet a wide variety of health and social needs. Multidisciplinary care is a team of health care professionals with a designated coordinator. Although the disease management plan might include assessment of risk factors that trigger asthma attacks, this is only one aspect of control of the disease.
