Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The number of immigrants and refugees in the United States is projected to continue to increase. The U.S. has grown largely through immigration. The growth will not occur because of changes in death rate, birth rate, or life span.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Infectious diseases do not recognize or respect country borders. With rapid international travel, an infected person could easily be in any country in a very short period of time. Problems throughout the globe can threaten human life. Although nurses have an ethical commitment to provide care, infections can occur anywhere, and nurses may care for populations who were originally born outside of the United States, the primary need for the nurse to have this knowledge exists because infectious diseases can spread throughout the world in a very short period of time because of the ease of travel in the world.
