Nurses are now working in ambulatory health clinics, hospice settings, and homeless shelters and clinics. What has influenced this increase in practice settings for nurses?
A) Population shift to more rural areas
B) Shift of health care delivery into the community
C) Advent of primary care clinics
D) Increased use of rehabilitation hospitals
Ans: B
Feedback: As health care delivery shifts into the community, more nurses are working in a variety of community-based settings. These settings include public health departments, ambulatory health clinics, long-term care facilities, hospice settings, industrial settings (as occupational nurses), homeless shelters and clinics, nursing centers, home health agencies, urgent care centers, same-day surgical centers, short-stay facilities, and patients' homes. The other answers are incorrect because our population has not shifted to more rural area, and the use of primary care clinics has not influenced an increase in practice settings or the use of rehabilitation hospitals.
