Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Certified nursing facilities have evolved over recent years. Most facilities have subacute care units that resemble hospital units caring for more patients with higher acuity than in the past. Therefore, the average length of stay in a facility has decreased. The cost of care in the facility has increased due to the increased complexity of illnesses treated, and the number of registered nurses has increased in order to care for these complex patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Care will continue to move out of hospitals and long-term care facilities because of rapidly esca-lating health care costs and individual preferences to age in place. There has not been a de-crease in nursing home beds. Although there are inadequate numbers of nurses with gerontologi-cal specialty training, this is not a factor that has impacted the growth of community-based care. There is projected to be a decrease in the number of family caregivers as the caregivers them-selves are aging; however, this does not contribute to the growth of community-based care.
