Continuity of Care Practice Test 2
The movement of a client from a lower to a higher level of care and intensity of care is an example of?
- A decreasing level of acuity.
- Retrospective reimbursement.
- Movement along the continuum of care.
- Prospective reimbursement.
Explanation: Answer reason: Continuity of care refers to coordinating and transitioning a client between settings as care needs change in acuity and required resources. Moving from a lower level (e.g., med-surg, rehab) to a higher intensity setting (e.g., step-down, ICU) represents an escalation within that continuum to match the client’s current status. A decreasing level of acuity would imply improvement and typically movement to a less intensive setting, not a higher one. Reimbursement terms describe payment methodology and do not describe clinical transitions between levels of care.
