Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D
Almost three-fourths of all adults report having a sleep problem at least once a week, yet sleep is an essential component of chronic disease prevention and health promotion. Many important functions occur while we sleep, such as release of hormones, memory consolidation, and decrease in blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C
Physicians later sought insurance plans, but originally only hospitals created insurance plans based on American Medical Association (AMA) leadership encouragement. During World War II increasing salaries was not an option, so offering health insurance helped ensure employee retention. Although government-supported health plans were suggested as early as the 1930s, politicians were not seriously discussing government-supported care.
