Answer to Question 1

C
Sullivan and Decker define change as making something different from what it was. Sebastian (1999)
states that organizational change is planned and most change is purposeful. Personal change is change
made voluntarily for one's own reasons. Personal or professional change is voluntary and carries
intrinsic or extrinsic rewards.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
The demographic information that would be most helpful would include age of residents, availability
of pediatric services offered by other agencies in the area, and number of women of childbearing age.
Information regarding the number of elderly residents, incidence of prostate cancer, and crime
statistics would not necessarily provide useful information.
