Answer to Question 1

B
The nursing center industry has become one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, also known as the Nursing Home Reform Act, raised the standard of services provided by nursing centers. The Medicaid act pro-vides insurance to low-income families. The diagnostic related group was formed from the Med-icare Act. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) established the Magnet Recogni-tion Program to recognize health care organizations that achieve excellence in nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

B
How long did the seizure last? is the question that will quickly focus on the patient's symptoms. Once patients tell their story, use a problem-seeking interview technique. This approach takes the information provided in the patient's story and then more fully describes and identifies specific problem areas. For example, focus on the symptoms the patient identifies and ask closed-ended questions that limit the patient's answers to one or two words such as yes or no or a number or frequency of a symptom. What made you choose this hospital does not focus on the seizure. Tell me will not get information quickly as these are open-ended.
