Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, F
Health services utilization increases with the expanded use of existing drugs, growth in national
population, increase in chronic conditions, and more functional limitations associated with aging.
Other factors that would increase utilization include consumer documents and guidelines that
recommend increased utilization, new procedures and technologies, as well as changes in clinician
practice. If risk factors for disease were better understood, there would be a decreased use of services.
Improved quality for food and water distribution would also cause reduced utilization.
