A) "The government is looking to the NINR for information about promoting health."
B) "Funding the NINR is one cause of health cost increases in the country."
C) "The government is interested in preventing chronic disease."
D) "Nursing research is focused on prevention and health promotion, which will decrease healthcare costs."
Answer: D
In an effort to contain cost and increase the quality of care, Congress would elicit the assistance of an agency such as the NINR to conduct research projects that will support the goals for national health care, which include prevention and health promotion. Funding the NINR does not increase healthcare costs but rather seeks to reduce costs by conducting research that promotes efficiency. The government does know how to promote health care, but the purpose of partnering with the NINR is to further that goal from a nursing perspective. Chronic disease cannot always be prevented, but research can help improve care and reduce costs of care.
