Which of the following best describes a flaw of many of the health care bills passed during the last four decades?
 
  a. They avoided interfering with the current health care approach and did not improve problems of access or duplication of efforts.
  b. They encouraged each state to do what was best for its residents without consideration of what was best for the nation as a whole.
  c. They created new layers of bureaucracy in health care administration.
  d. They did not include financing to pay for the suggested changes.

Question 2

One hundred women received notification that their screening tests suggested that they might have a serious health problem. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure that they will complete follow-up testing?
 
  a. Compliment them on their willingness to be tested and suggest an immediate appointment before they have too much time to think about the issue.
  b. Imply that the test could be wrong; the testing materials may not be effective, but the only way to be sure is to be tested further.
  c. Point out that screening is only suggestive and that not all positive screenings mean they actually have the health problem.
  d. Reassurance is not therapeutic; reality must be faced. Emphasize the need for immediate treatment.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although each bill attempted to meet some problem in health care planning and delivery, none really improved quality, access, and cost issues. Current health care providers and institutions heavily influenced outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Not all positive screening results are confirmed with further diagnostic testing. The positive predictive value of a test (proportion of true positive results relative to all positive test results) is usually known for any screening test. Although one could argue that the test could be wrong, it is more therapeuticbecause you want people to attend future screeningsto emphasize that screening is only suggestive than to say the screening test is inaccurate.
