MULTIPLE CHOICE u




1. Which best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about health
u u u u u u u u u u u


ucare?
a. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care. u u u u u u u


b. The media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
u u u u u u u u u u


c. Our national health care costs keep increasing.
u u u u u u


d. The new health care system offers free services to Americans.
u u u u u u u u u




ANS: C u


The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs,
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


which cannot be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


majority of escalating health care dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015. Politicians and the media both
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


influenceAmericans‘ perceptions about health care; however, they are not the
u u u u u u u u u u u


primary reason
u u


why Americans are concerned. The new health care system will change the
u u u u u u u u u u u


health careaccess and availability, but will not necessarily be offering any free
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


services to Americans.

c. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers. u u u u u u u u


d. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ANS: C u


As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the
u u u u u u u u u u u u


current health care system and all the problems that result from people not
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


seeking care untilthey are desperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses
u u u u u u u u u u u u


Association (ANA) emphasize, usually believe that health care is a right, not a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to our current health care delivery
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


system, can also beinstrumental in working politically to create a health care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several current
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


TV series and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals, physicians and other
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


health care providers are as well. Nurses are often managers, but managers
u u u u u u u u u u u u


often have other backgrounds, such as business administration.
