Answer to Question 1

B
A feature of an HMO is the practice of single point of entry through which care is delivered. Primary care providers serve as gatekeepers to the health care system in that they determine which referrals are needed by the client. To reduce costs, direct access to specialists is limited.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should place the patient experiencing heat exhaustion in a cool environment. The goal of nursing care is to stop diaphoresis by administering fluid and electrolytes as prescribed by a physician. Immersing the patient in cold water could lead to hypothermia. Covering the patient with a blanket would be used to treat hypothermia. Heat exhaustion is characterized by excessive perspiration, so perspiration should not be induced in a patient with this condition.
