Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Social Security Act sought direct payments to eligible individuals to ensure a minimum level of support for people at risk of problems from inadequate financial resources. The Social Security Act encompasses the Medicare and Medicaid Amendment. The Hill-Burton Act provided fund-ing to assist with building hospitals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A poor, older woman with no means of transportation has a combination of risk factors. A preg-nant teenager, 2-year-old boy, and recently unemployed father are only displaying one risk fac-tor, not multiple risk factors as the older woman displays.
