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, tuberculosis, 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: A
Settlement houses were neighborhood centers that provided health care, education, and social welfare programs. Nursing centers, nurse-managed clinics, and public health services are not necessarily in neighborhoods.
