Answer to Question 1

4
The four stages of oncogenesis or carcinogenesis are: 1) initiation, 2) promotion, 3) progression, and 4) metastasis. Stimulation is not a stage of carcinogenesis.

Answer to Question 2

1
In the 1980s, the close and trusting relationship between an individual and the individual's physician waned and was replaced by acquaintances with specialists based upon particular health care problems. These episodes of care cause fragmentation of care. The client who utilizes specialists is not at risk for overpayment of services, the inability to sustain health, or finding an appropriate general practitioner.
