Answer to Question 1

C
An absent pulse would be recorded as 0 . A recording of 1+ means the pulse is weak and thready. A recording of 2+ means the pulse is normal. And a recording of 3+ means the pulse is bounding.

Answer to Question 2

C
As a result of reimbursement changes, hospitals are restructuring to include a full range of services. As the average length of stay in hospitals declines, the acuity level of patients increases. An aging population requires more nursing care. Children are more likely than adults to be uninsured.
