Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Most health-related activities at the federal level are implemented and administered by the DHHS. The responsibility of the CDC is to keep the public safe and healthy. The responsibility of the HRSA is to improve access to health care services for vulnerable groups in the population. The main responsibility of the NIH is biomedical and health-related research.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Several problems resulted from deinstitutionalizat ion of mentally ill patients, because there was no follow-up or monitoring. Many were readmitted to state hospitals. Many ended up homeless or in prison facilities, not in nursing homes or with their family members at home. Community health centers were created to provide care to these patients, but the deinstitutionalized were unable to meet their basic needs and receive proper follow-up and health care monitoring. Thus, they were readmitted to care.
