Answer to Question 1

1. Managed care

Rationale:
Managed care describes a health care system that emphasizes cost-effective, quality care that focuses on decreased costs and improved outcomes for groups of clients. Case management describes a range of models for integrating health care services for individuals or groups. Differentiated practice is a system in which nursing personnel are assigned to the most suitable tasks based on their educational preparation and resultant skill sets. Patient-focused care is a delivery model that brings all services and care providers to the client.

Answer to Question 2

2. Dyspnea and shortness of breath

Rationale:
Manifestations of pulmonary emboli include dyspnea, shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, anxiety, apprehension, cough, tachycardia, tachypnea, crackles, and a low-grade fever. Decreased urine output, activity intolerance and nausea are not clinical manifestations of a pulmonary embolism.
