Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Lemuel Shattuck organized the American Statistical Society and issued a census, which demonstrated high mortality rates. His report of the Massachusetts Sanitary Commission recommended modern public health reforms. However, nothing was actually done about the recommendations for almost two decades. Eventually, however, the merit of his ideas was recognized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An individual may choose to control lifestyle behaviors, nutrition choices, and recreational options. An individual cannot alone control his or her neighborhood, employment setting, or other environmental exposures.
