Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Effectiveness refers to the extent to which a health care service meets a stated goal or objective, or how well a program or service achieves what is intended. Efficiency refers to producing max-imum output using a given set of resources. Microeconomic theory is examining the behaviors of individuals and organizations that result from trade-offs in utility and budget constraints of health care. Production refers to how goods are produced or created.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Macroeconomic theory focuses on the big picturethe total, or aggregate, of all individuals and organizations (e.g., behaviors such as growth, expansion, or decline of an aggregate). The primary focuses of macroeconomics are the business cycle and economic growth. These cycles are influenced by a number of factors, such as political changes, policy changes, knowledge and technology advances, or simply the belief by a recognized business leader that the cycle is or should be shifting. Microeconomics focuses on the individual or an organization. Factors such as levels of income, employment, general price levels, and rate of economic growth are important in microeconomics.
