Answer to Question 1

C
The other choices are events that happened after the colonial period.

Answer to Question 2

B
The newest threats to health that public health nurses are involved in are HIV, H1N1 influenza, and bioterrorism. Hepatitis is also a current threat, but diphtheria and cholera are not concerns in the United States. Avian flu may be a threat, but radiation and tuberculosis are ongoing. Envi-ronmental pollution has been reduced; however, there are pollution issues that do raise concerns.
