Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Nurse practice acts are pieces of legislation that exist at the state level.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
In many communities, decisions about the allocation of federal money are made at
the local level. Recent congressional actions have leaned toward enhancing state and local
control through creating large block grants where priorities would be decided locally. Federal
funding is not dependent on a lack of local funding and the DHHS does not normally match
local funding. Local budgets are not normally under the direction of federal officials.
