Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Theft or mismanagement of money or resources is an element of abuse. Recognition of abuse in-cludes these other possibilities as well: willful infliction of physical pain or injury, inflection of debilitating mental anguish and fear, or unreasonable confinement or the depriving of services. The other examples do not describe these elements of abuse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Life expectancy is a measure that is often used to gauge the overall health of a population. Health status indicators are the quantitative or qualitative measures used to describe the level of well-being or illness present in a defined population or to describe related attributes or risk fac-tors. Morbidity measures rate of disability or illness. Prevalence is the proportion of the popula-tion that has a specific disease or illness.
