Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As the question discusses risk, the textbook states that the risk factor must precede the problem and that the problem would increase with exposure. Feeling ill only on workdays would imply that some factor in the workplace is responsible. The media coverage, research related to poisonous vapors, and group think responses do not address the fact that the repeated exposure to the risk factor may be what is making them ill.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The range of available choices is critical in shaping a society's overall health status. Policy decisions in governmental and private organizations shape these choices. Hence, national-level policy making is the best way to impact the health of most Americans rather than continue to concentrate on imparting information in an effort to change individual behaviors.
