Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This question assumes students are aware of current social reality related to illness, health insurance, and employment realities. Historically, the greatest health concerns were lost wages associated with sickness. Today many employment positions do not offer health insurance. In addition, many employment positions do not have sick leave; if you are not at work, you do not get paid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During the twentieth century, the health and life expectancy of persons living in the United States improved dramatically. It is important for nurses to realize that of the 30 years of life expectancy gained during the century, 25 years were attributable to public health efforts. The advances in medical technology, improved physician education, and increased access to care have not had the impact on increasing life expectancy that the public health efforts have had.
