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 this scenario.
Rationale 3: Hospitals are classified by the services they provide as well as by their ownership. Long-term care hospitals provide services for longer periodssometimes years or for the remainder of the client's life. This does not describe the facility in the scenario.
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.
