Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is extremely useful to the individuals concerned and society if screening can lead to early diagnosis and successful control of the disease process. There is no point in doing a screening if there is no treatment or if there is a known risk of social stigma and discrimination if it becomes known that the person has the disease. Discussion and disagreement continue as to whether genetic information should be used in family planning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Its purpose was to make the latest technology for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and related diseases available to community health care providers through the establishment of regional cooperative arrangements. The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act attempted to reduce overall health care costs and to increase acceptability, accessibility, continuity, and quality of health care services. State government developed and implemented the requirement for hospitals to obtain approval for certain projects by requiring a certificate of need.
