Answer to Question 1

D
Uninsured individuals are more likely to go without needed care and to be in worse condition when they do present for care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Unlike in other settings, hospital violence differs in that it is usually the result of patients or their family members feeling frustration or anger. This is usually related to feelings of vulnerability, stress, and loss of control that accompany illness. Other factors such as the location, size of the facility, and type of care provided also increase the risk for violence.
