Answer to Question 1

B
The issues of ethics and client confidentiality have developed in the study of genetics and the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project focused on research on the Y chromosome and the discovery of gene and stem cell transplantation. It focused on the advancements in diagnosis and treatment, not disease prevention. Eradication of disease is not an expected outcome of the project.

Answer to Question 2

C
Managed care plans control the nature, amount, and site of health services provided, thus changing the focus of health care. Managed care plans do not limit the amount of preventive care available or the number of providers and institutions that a client can use. While initially the focus of managed care plans was cost containment, the outcome was actually a limitation in availability of health care choices and increased client costs.
