Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Principles of distributive justice address questions in deciding what goods will be distributed to which persons in what proportions. This is best addressed by asking How will limited funds be spent? The principle of beneficence is addressed through Who will benefit the most from the services? and How will an additional service benefit the population? The principle of confi-dentiality is addressed through the question How will the privacy of the population be respect-ed?

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The rate of injury and crime is lower in communities that promote good health. Where inequities of resources and education exist, health disparity, violence, and other crimes rise and accidental injuries occur more often.
