Answer to Question 1

D
Stroke volume is the measurement of blood that enters the aorta with each ventricular contraction. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. The pulse is the bounding of blood flow in an artery. Pulse pressure is the measurement of the ratio of stroke volume to compliance of the arterial system.

Answer to Question 2

C
Access to health care services has a serious impact on the functioning of the health care system. A large number of Americans are unable to gain access to health care services because of low income or lack of insurance, and so their illnesses progress to the acute stage before they seek intervention. Poverty often adversely affects an individual's access to health care services.
