Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In-patient acute care nurses (not public health nurses) focus on acute care with outcomes known fairly quickly. Unlike in-patient nursing, in which there are other health care professionals and staff with whom to interact, public health nursing is known for its autonomy and independence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Poor Law guaranteed medical care for poor, blind, and lame individuals, similar to Medicaid.
