Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Some organizations have decided to self-insure their employees. This reduces the administrative cost of insurance. Self-insurance does not claim to offer more benefits to employees, allow for more control over health care providers, or do a better job at keeping employees happy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
An individual who establishes a reputation as a reliable and accurate resource as a lobbyist has substantial influence. Certainly, it is also useful to convince colleagues to join nursing organizations and write legislators or contribute to campaigns of legislators supportive of nursing goals. Legislators rely on lobbyists to educate them on issues. The official must trust the lobbyists to give accurate (though predictably biased) information, which is timely and up to date.
