Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Leading causes of death in 1955 were heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular disease, whereas in 1900 they were pneumonia, TB, and diarrhea/enteritis. The mortality rate decreased by 47. There was a decrease in communicable disease, and the life span after diagnosis increased.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The FNS nurses were trained in nursing public health and midwifery and provided care to rural and inaccessible areas, which led to reduced mortality. They would not have seen injured sol-diers, males, or a child with measles.
