Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Health policy includes the laws to promote the health of citizens. Child labor laws are an example of a social welfare policy. Rules of smoking environments for employees and clients are institutional policies. An example of organizational policy is a state nurses' association or a specialty nursing organization that determines governing rules for membership.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A new health clinic for low-income families is an example of a health care policy decision made on a community level, because it is funded with budget allocations from local city and county governments. The licensure of health care professionals is an example of a policy decision made at the state level, because the state government provides funding. National health policy focuses on issues of concern to all citizens, such as legislation and regulations that focus on client safety in hospitals and ensure access to public health care.
