Answer to Question 1

D
The process of reflection, as described by Pesut and Herman (1999), states that reflective thinking is
watching or observing ourselves as we perform a task or make a decision about a particular situation.
Reflection allows one to evaluate decisions and think about what has occurred. While the reflective
process may enhance decisions to implement changes or improvements, this is not an integral part of
the reflective thinking process.

Answer to Question 2

C
Prior to the 1960s, it was assumed that all Americans were entitled to all of the health care knowledge,
skills, and treatments available no matter what the cost. Expenditures for health care escalated upwards
and, in an attempt to control these costs, the U.S. government enacted Titles XVIII and XIX in 1965.
Titles XVIII and XIX were amendments to the Social Security Act (Medicare and Medicaid
programs). They were designed to require health care providers to provide documentation of care for
Medicare and Medicaid patients.
