Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Rationale:
The obesity crisis is of great concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2011), about 33.8 of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Rationale:
According to Zhang et al. (2009), costs are much lower when physicians discuss end-of-life care with their patients. Yet many dying persons are never referred to hospice. More than a third of those referred only spend seven days enrolled, although many would benefit greatly from aspects of care management lasting longer (Jennings, Ryndes, D'Onofrio, & Baily, 2010).
