Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The emergence of the germ theory of disease focused diagnosis and treatment on the individual organism and the individual disease. The theories related to bad fluids causing disease, spontaneous generation, and miasmic theory were all proven to be incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Community outcry for social reform forced state and local governments to take notice of deplorable conditions and take more responsibility for controlling the spread of bacteria and other microorganisms. Hospital overcrowding, unprofitability of businesses, and physician demand for government support did not influence the increased involvement of local and state governments.
