An older adult has type 1 diabetes. He can perform self-care activities but needs help with shopping and meal preparation as well as with blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration.

Which type of healthcare facility would be most appropriate for him?

1) Acute care facility
2) Ambulatory care facility
3) Extended care facility
4) Assisted living facility

Question 2

Of the following, the biggest disadvantage of having nursing assistive personnel (NAP) help nurses is that the nurse:

1) Must know what aspects of care can legally and safely be delegated to the NAP.
2) May rely too heavily on information gathered by the NAP when making patient-care decisions.
3) Is removed from many components of direct patient care that have been delegated to the NAP.
4) Still maintains responsibility for the patient care given by the NAP.
