Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
People with the following conditions are not routinely immunized and require medical consulta-tion: pregnancy, generalized malignancy, immunosuppressive therapy or immunodeficiency dis-ease, sensitivity to components of the agent, or recent administration of immune serum globulin, plasma, or blood. Leukemia would be a medical contraindication for receiving an immunization. Religious beliefs, sore throat, and fear of side effects are not medical contradictions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
CHIP is a federal and state partnership that is directed toward uninsured children and pregnant women in families with incomes too high to qualify for state Medicaid programs but too low to afford private coverage. Medicare is a government insurance program primarily offered to the elderly population. Social Security is not a health care insurance program.
