After many years of advanced practice nursing, a nurse has recently
enrolled in a nurse practitioner program. This nurse has been attracted to
the program by the potential to provide primary care for clients after
graduation, an opportunity that is most likely to exist in which of the
following settings?
A) A rural health center
B) A long-term care facility
C) A university hospital
D) A community hospital - Answer✔️✔️-A
Many rural health centers employ few health care providers, and primary
care is often provided by a nurse practitioner (NP). A nurse practitioner
may provide care in a long-term care facility or hospital, but in these
settings, the NP is less likely to be the provider of primary care to clients.

D) Voluntary agencies - Answer✔️✔️-B
Hospitals have become acute care providers for people who are too ill to
care for themselves at home, who are severely injured, who require surgery
or complicated treatment, or who are having babies. Hospitals rarely focus
on chronic illnesses, and they are not primary care centers. Hospitals are
not classified as voluntary agencies.
A man is scheduled for hospital outpatient surgery. He tells the nurse, "I
don't know what that word,outpatient, means." How would the nurse
respond?
A) "It means you will have surgery in the hospital and stay for 2 days."
B) "It means the surgeon will come to your home to do the surgery."
C) "Why would you ask such a question? Don't worry about it."
D) "You will have surgery and go home that same day." - Answer✔️✔️-D
In addition to providing acute care, hospitals have many services for
outpatients (those who require health care but do not need to stay in the
facility). Clients who have outpatient surgery have the procedure, return to
their hospital room for recovery, and then are discharged home on the
same day.

A nurse in a walk-in health care setting provides technical services (e.g.,
administering medications), determines the priority of care needs, and
provides client teaching on all aspects of care. Which of the following terms
best describes this type of health care setting?
A) Hospital
B) Physician's office
C) Ambulatory center
D) Long-term care - Answer✔️✔️-C
Nurses in ambulatory care centers (walk-in clinics) provide technical
services (e.g., administering medications), determine the priority of care
needs, and provide teaching about all aspects of care. Nurses employed in
hospitals have many roles, including manager of other members of the
health care team providing client care, administrator, nurse practitioner,
clinical nurse specialist, patient educator, in-service educator, and
researcher. In physician's offices, advanced practice registered nurses
(APRNs), nurse practitioners, midwives, or clinical nurse specialists work
independently or collaboratively with physicians to make assessments and
care for clients who require health maintenance or health promotion
activities. Long-term care provides medical and nonmedical care for people
with chronic illnesses or disabilities.
