Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The concept of continuum of care originated after WWII to describe the long-term services required for discharged psychiatric patients. The term case management first appeared in social welfare literature during the early 1970s. Nightingale, Wald, and social workers were not involved in the creation of the idea of the continuum of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With 25 of the population out of work, the number of patients capable of paying their medical bills was reduced. Because public financing was limited, hospitals, physicians, and other providers went bankrupt. Because hospitals and physicians were going bankrupt, there was no way to increase charity care or services for those in need.
