Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The new core-based statistical areas (CBSA) system includes two categories of counties: (1) metropolitan areas and (2) micropolitan areas. Counties that are neither metropolitan nor micropolitan are called outside CBSAs, also known as noncare areas. Metropolitan areas contain at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more people. A micropolitan area contains a cluster of 10,000 to 50,000 persons. Because the metropolitan statistical area classification is used extensively for congressional policy-making and funding decisions, there could be serious ramifications for health care financing within rural market areas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In the National Agenda for the Prevention of Disabilities model, disability occurs when a person's physical or mental limitations, in interaction with physical and social barriers in the environment, prevent the person from taking equal part in the normal life of the community. Confronting environmental and social barriers to needed services can frustrate and exhaust many people with disabilities and their families. The nurseas a citizen and a concerned professionalcan advocate for removal of such barriers. This issue is the most important for the nurse to address, allowing the nurse to partner with clients and families affected by disabilities to remedy barriers that negatively affect quality of life for this population.
