Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Private policy is largely influenced by theories of economics and business management, including consumerism and market trends. Such policies can react quickly and are often proactive. In comparison, public policies are slow and reactive, and economics is just one of many factors involved. Public policies are determined by voting shifts, electoral realignment, and term limits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The individual case manger's role will vary depending on the specific program's services. The criteria of program acceptance, location, and population served by the program will not have as large an influence on the case manager's role as do the specific services of the program.
