Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
The federal government began to take a direct approach in identifying and monitoring national health care goals after the Surgeon General's report. The Healthy Objectives Planning Act of 1990 was passed. Healthy People 2000, Healthy People 2010, and Healthy People 2020 are continuing the efforts. The establishment of a national committee, increased funding for health planning and health care, adoption of recommendations at the federal level, and the need for health care reform were not outcomes of the 1979 report.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
The Budget Reconciliation Act influenced funding and set up guidelines and regulations about several issues including a move from process to outcome evaluation, use of restraints, and prescription drugs for Medicaid recipients. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 established health maintenance organizations. The National Health Planning and Resources Act of 1974 required health care facilities to obtain prior approval from the state for expansion in the form of a certificate of need. The Nurse Training Act in 1964 provided funds for nursing school construction and loans and scholarships for full-time study.
