Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, F
McKinlay (1979) further delineated the activities of the manufacturers of illnessthose individuals, interest groups, and organizations which, in addition to producing material goods and services, also produce, as an inevitable byproduct, widespread morbidity and mortality (pp. 9, 10). The manufacturers of illness embed desired behaviors in the dominant cultural norm and thus foster the habituation of high-risk behavior in the population. The manufacturers of illness include everyday examples such as the tobacco industry, the alcohol industry, and multiple corporations that produce environmental carcinogens. The existing U. S. Health Care System, in a misguided attempt to help, devotes its efforts to changing the products of the illness manufacturers and neglects the processes that create the products.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, F
The best answer is to ask what is going on in the client's life at that moment because situational stresses often occur to everyone. Next, asking what previously has been effective in relieving the symptoms may suggest more appropriate actions than medication. Al-
though generics would be less expensive than brand-name medication, medication should not be the first approach to resolving a symptom before even examining why the symptom is occurring.
