Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although transferring specialized medical technologies from developed to developing countries may not always be appropriate, developing countries are currently learning from health care reform policies and the technological revolution in developed countries. The health care reform policies will improve healthcare delivery and be more helpful than changing the education of health care professionals. There is not a rationing approach to health care services in the United States that could be used by other countries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Adult correctional facilities are not generally equipped to deal with the challenges of adolescent development. Adolescents in an adult correctional facility are five times more likely to be sexually assaulted, three times more likely to be beaten by prison guards, and 50 more likely to be assaulted with a weapon, compared with adolescents held in a juvenile center. Juveniles in adult correctional facilities are eight times more likely than juveniles in the juvenile center to commit suicide. Thus, it is in the best interest of the adolescent to be placed in a juvenile facility. The placement of an adult prison or mental hospital would not be in the best interest of this child.
