Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
The nurse must determine what the client wants to know, not what the nurse believes the client needs to know. The nurse should not go into excess detail but focus on a few concepts or key points, that is, stick with the essentials; use clear and concise language while avoiding technical terms; encourage participants by use of questions related to their life experiences; use demonstrations and real-life examples to illustrate major points and summarize the key points to help the audience retain the material.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
The Reagan administration encouraged competition. Emphasis was on cost shifting and cost reduction with greater state power, less centralization, and less national control. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 reduced federal funding, which also decreased federal planning efforts. The federal government recommended eliminating planning agencies. Also during this time was the implementation of basing payments to Medicare on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). A reduction in federal funding caused cost shifting and cost reduction to be emphasized.
