Answer to Question 1

C
Fairness means the nurse deals with situations justly. This means that bias or prejudice does not enter into a decision. For example, regardless of how you feel about obesity, you do not allow personal attitudes to influence the way you deliver care to patients who are overweight. Creativ-ity involves original thinking. This means you find solutions outside of the standard routines of care while still following standards of practice. A critical thinker's favorite question is, Why? and represents curiosity. Following the six rights is being responsible and accountable.

Answer to Question 2

C
The term managed care describes systems in which the payer has control over primary health care services delivery for a defined patient population. Long-term care insurance focuses on skilled nursing, not managed care. Managed care focuses on health and staying out of the hospital. Managed care aims to increase access to care while decreasing costs.
