Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Residents of rural areas are nearly twice as likely to die of unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle accidents, when compared with their urban counterparts. The rates of chronic diseases, diabetes, and respiratory diseases are more similar to that of urban residents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Nagi model uses functional limitations, which have been defined and are measureable, to determine whether an individual is disabled. However, the current paradigm considers the environmental barriers and the perspectives of the onlooker when considering if an individual is disabled. Thus, the other options do not address the limitation of using only functional limitations.
