QUESTION

What was the motivation for focusing on wellness in the healthcare system?

1. Demands by the public
2. Nurse practice acts
3. Higher education
4. Cost-containment measures

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 4

Cost-containment measures have driven the current healthcare system of wellness. Third-party payers want to keep members well so they do not need the system, and this is how costs are contained. Demands by the public, nurse practice acts, and higher education have not been identified as reasons that managed care became focused on wellness and illness/injury prevention.
