Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In general, alcohol use has gained more social acceptance than other drug use. Due to the known harmful effects of tobacco, it is not acceptable to use tobacco products, which contain nicotine. The use of amphetamines and barbiturates are not acceptable in Western society.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In 1902, New York City hired the first nurses to help inspect children, educate families, and ensure follow-up treatment. Within a few years, the renowned nurse Lillian Wald was able to show that the presence of school nurses could reduce absenteeism by 50.
