Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
If people stay healthy, the cost of medical care declines. Systems of managed care focus on con-taining or reducing costs, increasing client satisfaction, and improving the health or functional status of the individual (Sultz and Young, 2004). Health promotion: Activities that develop hu-man attitudes and behaviors to maintain or enhance well-being.
Disease prevention: Activities that protect people from becoming ill because of actual or potential health threats.
Tertiary prevention: Care that prevents further progression of disease.
Secondary prevention: Early diagnosis and treatment of illness (e.g., screening for hypertension).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Discharge planning should begin at the time of admission to the hospital, using the strengths and resources of the client, providing resources to meet the client's limitations, and focusing on im-proving the client's long-term outcomes.
The client's diagnosis does not have to be established before discharge planning can begin.
Discharge planning should include preparation for long-term needs of the client.
Acute care therapies may impact a client's discharge and should be a part of the plan from the beginning.
