Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. General hospitals admit clients requiring a variety of services such as medical, surgical, obstetric, pediatric, and psychiatric services.
Rationale 2: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. Some hospitals offer only specialty services such as psychiatric or pediatric. This does not describe the facility in the stem.
Rationale 3: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. Long-term care hospitals provide services for longer periods-sometimes years or for the remainder of the client's life. This does not describe the facility in the stem.
Rationale 4: Acute care (or short-term) hospitals provide assistance to clients whose illness and need for hospitalization are relatively short term, such as several days. This does not describe the facility in the stem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Rehabilitation is a process of restoring ill or injured people to optimum and functional levels of wellness, emphasizing the importance of assisting clients to function adequately in the physical, mental, social, economic, and vocational areas of their lives. That is not the service this client requires.
Rationale 2: Health restoration is service that helps bring ill or injured clients back to their former state of health. That is not the service this client requires.
Rationale 3: Acute care is the typical service provided in a hospital. That is not the service this client requires.
Rationale 4: Palliative care is service that provides comfort and treatment of symptoms. This type of care is for clients who cannot be returned to health. It may be conducted in many settings, including the home.
