Answer to Question 1

B
The rational investigation of the truths and principles of knowledge, reality, and human conduct
(behavior) is called a philosophy. Personal philosophies can be a result of a person's beliefs and values
but, bioethics is a type of a philosophy that concerns itself specifically with health care but is not
applicable to all philosophies.

Answer to Question 2

D
According to the IOM, by 2045 half of the people in the United States will be members of racial
minority population groups. This includes Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and Asian
Americans combined with other racial minority population groups. No one racial minority population
group will represent half of the population.
