Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although 75 of U.S. counties are classified as rural, they contain only 20 of the U.S. population. The population density is too low to support a large hospital. There are providers available to serve the population and residents are accepting of health care services, but not as many services are needed because of the lower population density.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In comparing these concepts, an impairment affects a human organ on a micro level; disability affects a person on an individual level; and a handicap involves society on a macro level of analysis. Table 21-1 points out that both impairment and disability may be objective and measurable, whereas handicap is neither, because it is an experience related to the responses of other people.
