Answer to Question 1

A
The overall goals of Healthy People 2020 are to increase the life expectancy and quality of life and to eliminate health disparities through an improved delivery of health care services to people in the United States. The focus is on the United States, not the world. It does not focus on one disease or on reducing health care costs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with internal loci of control perceive themselves as having personal control over their environments and the outcome of events. They ask questions, desire information, and like having choices for treatment. Patients with external loci of control perceive other factors in their environments such as nurses as being responsible for the outcome of events. These patients tend to be less demanding, follow directions, and are more passive in managing their pain. They want specific instructions but become anxious if you give them too much information. Interior and exterior loci are not a copying style.
