Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The appropriate response is assisted living. A group of residents live together, each resident hav-ing his or her own room, yet sharing dining and social activity areas.
Respite care is a service that provides short-term relief for persons providing home care to the ill or disabled.
An extended care facility provides intermediate medical, nursing, or custodial care for clients re-covering from acute or chronic illness or disabilities.
Rehabilitative care includes physical, occupational and speech therapy, and social services to help restore clients to their fullest ability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Inpatient hospital services for Medicare clients are reimbursed a set amount for each DRG, re-gardless of the client's length of stay or use of services in the hospital.
Capitation is the payment mechanism in which providers receive a fixed amount per enrollee of a health care plan.
The payment mechanism that Medicare uses is not direct contracting.
Medicare is not based on fixed payments, but rather on a set dollar amount according to the DRG.
