[Author name] [COMPANY NAME] [Company address] INTRODUCTORY MEDICAL SURGICAL NURSING 12TH EDITION TIMBY SMITH TEST BANK 1. CHAPTER 1 Managed care organizations are insurers that carefully plan and closely supervise the distribution of healthcare services. What is one of the goals of managed care? A) Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities B) Improving training of healthcare professionals C) Eliminating health disparities between segments of the population D) Providing hospice or home hospice care Ans: A Feedback: Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities is one of the goals of managed care. Improved training of healthcare profe ssionals is the priority for international health and not the goal of managed care. Eliminating health disparities between the segments of population is a goal of Healthy People 2020. Providing hospice or home hospice care is only for terminally ill clients. 2. In an effort to cut costs, hospitals have instituted many changes. Which of these cost-cutting factors is most likely to jeopardize the quality of care? A) Using unlicensed assistive personnel B) Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals C) Not devo ting enough time to the client D) The rise of medical care costs in healthcare systems Ans: A Feedback: Hospitals are using unlicensed assistive personnel to perform some duties practical and registered nurses once provided. Many are concerned that the use of unlicensed assistive personnel will jeopardize the quality of care. Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals, not devoting enough time to the client, or the rise of medical costs are less likely to jeopardize the quality of care. 3. Since losing his right leg years ago, Mr. Smith and his wife have formed a community walking group to raise money for the homeless in his area. Which of the following has contributed to him being viewed as “healthy”? A) The client is married and is moving on. B) The client is experiencing high quality of life within the limits of the physical condition. C) The client is facing various states of health and illness. D) The client is physiologically and psychologically stable. Ans: B Feedback: Clients adapt physically, emotionally, and socially, enabling them to maintain comfort, stability, and self -expre ssion. Clients with chronic illness can achieve a high level of wellness and experience high quality of life. Marriage is an aspect of quality of life but does not define the quality of the client's life. All clients experience various states of health and illness. Page 1 4. A 17 -year-old client is having protected sex one to two times a week in a monogamous relationship. What is the client participating in? A) Health promotion B) Health maintenance C) Illness prevention D) Wellness Ans: B Feedback: Protecting one's current level of healt h by practicing safe sex to prevent illness is an example of a health maintenance activity. Health promotion strategies are used to enhance health, such as eating a diet high in fiber. Illness prevention includes identifying risk factors such as hypertension. Wellness is the balance of total well-being. 5. A client complaining of bloody urine has scheduled an appointment with a family practitioner. What type of care is the client receiving? A) Tertiary B) Secondary C) Skilled nursing care D) Primary Ans: D Feedback: The first provider that clients contact about a health need provides primary care; this person is typically a family practitioner or nurse practitioner. Secondary care includes referrals to facilities for additional testing. Tertiary care focuses on more complex medical and surgical intervention. Skilled nursing care occurs in facilities or units that offer prolonged health maintenance or rehabilitative services. 6. The hospital is having a problem with healthcare -associated infections. A committee has been established to study the problem a nd make recommendations. The nurse working on the committee knows that this work addresses what? A) Inpatient quality indicators B) Prevention quality indicators C) National Patient Safety Goals D) Patient safety indicators Ans: C Feedback: The Joint Commission has established National Patient Safety Goals that are updated annually. These safety goals have changed how patients are identified and prevent adverse effects. Some of the 2012 goals include reducing the risk of healthcare -associated infections. Patient safety indicators reflect the quality of care in hospitals but focus on potentially avoidable complications. Prevention indicators identify hospital admissions that could be avoided through high -quality outpatient care. Inpatient indicators reflect quality of care inside the hospital. 7. After hip surgery, a client is admitted to the rehabilitation hospital. What type of care is the client receiving? A) Secondary B) Tertiary C) Rehabilitation D) Primary Ans: B Feedback: Hospitals where specialized technology is available provide tertiary care. Primary care is the initial contact that a client has, such as an appointment with a family practitioner. Secondary care includes referrals for additional testing. Rehabilitation is aimed at restoring a person to his or her fullest ability. Page 3 WWW.NURSYLAB.COM Page 3 of 1010
