Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
OBRA's service requirements include resident assessments and screenings, minimum staffing requirements, and ensuring resident rights. Educational requirements for nurses are not part of this mandate.

Answer to Question 2

D
The health belief model, which was developed to determine the likelihood of an individual's par-ticipation in health promotion, health protection, and disease prevention services, includes as-sessing an individual's perception of his or her susceptibility to developing an illness. Asking the patient about beliefs related to tobacco use and health is an activity that falls within this model. The other activities do not.
