Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. In public health law, medicine and the law overlap to provide and support the need for immunizations to prevent the onset of preventable diseases.
2. Public health laws and medicine overlap in the area of sanitation to reduce the onset of disease.
3. The law and medicine overlap in the case of abortion. The law supports the use of abortion and medicine provides the abortion. However, some health insurance policies do not cover this service.
4. The law and medicine overlap in the case of euthanasia. The definition of death has changed over the years and with technological improvements, the courts often have to intervene to help make the decisions to stop life support efforts.
5. Medication distribution is not an area where the law and medicine overlap.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Technology in healthcare is expensive, and a person may not be able to afford, want, or utilize what technology offers as part of diagnostic tests or treatments.
2. Understanding results obtained through technological tests or treatments can be a factor of education, not of technology itself.
3. All ages can benefit from the various technologies in healthcare, but this does not mean that technology needs to be used at any age for any reason.
4. Access is the ability to enter a system. A patient of limited income would not be able to afford the technological treatments for care.
