Nursing students should focus their skills on delivering health care in which setting?
1. Assisted living facilities
2. Hospitals
3. Intensive care units
4. The community
Correct Answer: 4
In the future, health care will be provided mostly in communities. Telehealth and remote telemetry are changing the way health care is delivered. The focus on communities as a point of entry into health care and delivery of services is increasing along with the recognition of the important role the community can play in health. Health care will be provided mostly in the community. Acute and critical care will be delivered in the hospitals, but with shorter admission time periods and quicker discharges back into the community and home environment. As the population grows older people will receive more long-term care at home.
