Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D, E
The growth of the hospital as a primary healthcare institution was the result of
numerous factors, including the medical technology, the growth of professional nursing, and
the emergence of the health insurance industry. This trend has not been closely linked to
changes in health literacy and chronic diseases.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Insurance coverage for inpatient treatment created a disincentive towards
preventative measures and health promotion activities since these were nor insured benefits.
The focus on inpatient care did not prevent participation in Medicare or dissuade people from
visiting hospitals.
