Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths, accounting for about one out of every five deaths, it is crucial that tobacco use be queried in each health history. After asking about tobacco use, the others should also be included in a health history.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Medical care providers are restricted by insurance and government regulations. Providers may also be employed in government facilities, such as Veterans Administration facilities. However, medical care providers primarily focus on diagnosis and treatment of disease, whereas public health care providers try to promote health and prevent disease. Although medical care providers primarily focus on individuals and public health care providers primarily focus on aggregates, their practice is not limited to only individuals or only aggregates.
