Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A caregiver can be a potent motivational source for adhering to health maintenance practices. The presence of a caregiver does not guarantee safety and housecleaning. Although many caregivers are family members and do not charge for providing care, other caregivers do require a fee.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Such health information as pacemakers, heparin therapy, and drug allergies should be made available to emergency workers.
