    • D.

      Be able to ride in a car to visit the physician.

    Correct Answer
    C. Be under the care of a pHysician and need skilled nursing or therapy services.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Be under the care of a physician and need skilled nursing or therapy services." This is because Medicare is a health insurance program that primarily covers medical services provided by healthcare professionals. To be eligible for Medicare, a patient must be under the care of a physician and require skilled nursing or therapy services. Having a supplemental insurance policy or needing a caregiver at home for a certain number of hours per day are not requirements for Medicare eligibility. The ability to ride in a car to visit the physician is also not a determining factor for Medicare eligibility.

    If the home health nurse feels threatened in any way in the home, it is important for their safety to leave the house immediately. By removing themselves from the potentially dangerous situation, they can protect themselves from harm. They should then call their supervisor to report the incident and seek further guidance on how to handle the situation. This ensures that the nurse's safety is prioritized and that appropriate measures can be taken to address the threat.

    Correct Answer
    B. Plan of Care

    Advanced directives are legal documents that outline a person's preferences for medical treatment in the event they are unable to communicate their wishes. They include a CPR directive, which specifies whether or not the person wants to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a Medical Durable Power of Attorney, which designates someone to make medical decisions on behalf of the person, and a Living Will, which outlines specific medical treatments the person does or does not want. However, a "Plan of Care" is not typically considered an advanced directive as it refers to the specific care and treatment plan developed by healthcare professionals.

    B. pHoning the pHysician about the patient at another patient's house.
    Explanation
    Patient confidentiality is a fundamental right that ensures the privacy and protection of a patient's personal information. It means that healthcare professionals should not disclose any patient information to unauthorized individuals. Keeping written patient information out of sight in the car, sharing patient information with family members with the patient's consent, and discussing patient information with other caregivers who have a need to know are all examples of maintaining patient confidentiality. However, phoning the physician about the patient at another patient's house could potentially breach patient confidentiality as it involves discussing patient information with someone who is not directly involved in the patient's care.

      Medicaid

    • B.

      Medicare

    • C.

      Managed care company

    • D.

      Private payment

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Medicaid is the payer of "last resort" because it is a government program that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families. When individuals do not have any other form of health insurance or are unable to afford private insurance, Medicaid steps in to provide coverage. It is designed to be a safety net for those who cannot afford healthcare, making it the payer of last resort.
