Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Cost-effectiveness can be achieved through well-coordinated and integrated home care services. Close monitoring of the balance between the costs of providing services and adequate reimbursement is critical. Coordinated services, a holistic approach, and a focus on independence are not unique to the principles of home care but are part of institutional care as well.
