Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Fee-for-service is the traditional method of paying health care bills in which physicians are paid a fee by the patient for each service they provide. Inflation is a general rise in prices, usually persisting over several years. Capitation is an alternative to the traditional fee-for-service method of payment. Capitation involves a set monthly fees charged by the provider of health care services for each member of the insurance group for a specific set of services. Gross domestic product is the combination of all goods and services produced in a nation's economy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Critical thinking and problem solving are important not only in patient care, but also in nonclinical situations in the health care agency. The ability to work efficiently for long hours will not promote success during change. Identifying the need for comprehensive system change and becoming knowledgeable about CQI processes will be helpful but would not be assessed as most helpful.
