a. Providing a client-professional partnership
b. Delivering accessible care to medically underserved areas
c. Defining the characteristics of a commu-nity
d. Evaluating the outcomes of rural programs
ANS: A
The case management model provides a client-professional partnership that can be used to ar-range a continuum of care for rural clients, with the case manager tailoring and blending formal and informal resources. Collaborative efforts between a client and the case manager allow clients to participate in their plan of care in an acceptable and appropriate way, especially when local re-sources are few and far between. The case management model does not define the characteristics of the community or evaluate the outcomes of rural programs.
