here is another N10 review

I wonder if this one is good.


-1- Difference between public health, community based nursing and home health nursing. Know the scope of practice, role, patients seen by each
-2- What are the sources of reimbursement for community based nursing. Medi-Care/ Medi-Caid / Medi-Cal / Insurance / Out of pocket
-3- How do 3rd party payers influence health care costs?
-4- Understand the difference between medicare (elderly, perm disabled) Medicaid (federal and state combined money’s, state ran, for indigents) MediCal (this is Medicaid in california)
-5- (A LOT) Primary (before sick i.e. birth control, immunizations) Secondary (already sick and have problem i.e. talking to pregnant woman about termination options) Tertiary (already has perm residual problem, must learn to re-live with this perm residual of being sick)
-6- What is community? (book def: where people work, sleep and play). PEOPLE make up community
-7- Community based nursing- what does it include ( what are the nurses, what do they do)
-8- Culture – think about working with other cultures
-9- Teaching – Approx 15 questions
-10- The roles of a nurse. Educator, Case Manager, Leadership, etc. Have a clear understanding of these roles.
-11- Families – know the cycles (Approx 7 questions)

-14- Affective domains of learning: Affective, Psychomotor, Cognitive-
15- Be able to clearly state what communication is. Simple terms, understandable to patients. No medicalese
-16- Teaching Need VS. Readiness (some patients have a need to learn but are not ready, whereas others are ready)
