Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Home care agencies differ in the way they are organized and administered. They may be official or public (operated by state or local governments and primarily financed by tax funds), voluntary or not-for-profit (supported by donations, endowments, charities, and insurance reimbursements), proprietary (for-profit organizations governed by individual owners or national corporations), or institution-based (operate under a parent organization, such as a hospital).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A client is legally free to leave the hospital, but must sign a form that releases the physician and health care institution from any legal responsibility for his or her health status. The client's signature must be witnessed, and the form becomes part of the client's medical record.
