As our population ages, we will see more patients admitted to long-term care facilities in need of palliative care. Regulations now in place that govern how the care in these facilities is both organized and reimbursed emphasize what?
A) Ongoing acute care
B) Restorative measures
C) Mobility and socialization
D) Incentives to palliative care
Ans: B
Feedback: Regulations that govern how care in these facilities is organized and reimbursed tend to emphasize restorative measures and serve as a disincentive to palliative care. This makes option D incorrect. Option A is incorrect; long-term care facilities do not provide acute care for their patients. Regulations for long-term care facilities do not emphasize mobility and socialization, which makes option C incorrect.
