QUESTION

In 1994 Jeffrey Bauer described some exciting possibilities that would affect nursing and healthcare delivery if instituted. What did Bauer propose?

1. Place health care on the free market so that maximum choice and quality competition are available.
2. Socialize medicine.
3. Do not change anything. The system is working.
4. Maintain the monopoly held by physicians over the delivery of health care to Americans.

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 1

Jeffrey Bauer proposed a change to healthcare by breaking the monopoly held by physicians over the delivery of health care, and place health care on the free market so that maximum choice and quality would be available to Americans. These exciting possibilities would affect nursing in favorable ways and increase nurse contact and availability. The idea to place health care on the free market would be counterproductive to socialized medicine, where healthcare is governed by the government and prices for healthcare are fixed.
