Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Nurses should become familiar with the complexities of healthcare and use this
knowledge to help patients and families navigate the system. Technology and the roles of
nurses of not topics that are likely to benefits patients in a tangible way. Prevention measures
are important for health but they do not necessarily aid in navigating the system.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Drug companies often sell identical drugs in other countries for far less money than
what they charge consumers in the United States, a fact that contributes to the high cost of
healthcare in the United States. Overseas research and development is not a contentious issue
and drug companies are continually active in the development of new drugs. Despite the high
costs, the availability of drugs in the United States is unmatched.
