Answer to Question 1

B
Because of successes in public health, medicine, and biomedical technology, acute and infectious diseases are no longer major causes of death, disease, and disability in the United States. Many health care analysts believe that the heaviest burden of illness today is caused by chronic diseases. Exotic diseases are rare.

Answer to Question 2

A
The entrusting approach provides the patient the opportunity to manage self-care. The patient accepts responsibilities and correctly performs the task while a nurse observes the patient's progress and remains available for assistance. Telling involves explicit instructions with no feedback. Participating involves mutual goal setting with the patient helping decide the content. Reinforcing is using a stimulus that increases the probability of a response.
