Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Health status improvement in children can lead to better education that eventually helps the country's economic growth. Because children are educated, there is more economic growth. This allows for additional monetary resources to be spent on economic development rather than on treatment of illness and disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The United Kingdom has a tax-supported health system that is owned and operated by the gov-ernment. Services are available to all without cost or for a small fee. Physicians are the primary providers in this system; nurses and allied health professionals are also recognized and used. Ser-vices are made available through hospitals, private physicians and allied health professional clin-ics, health outreach programs such as hospice, boroughs, and environmental health services.
