Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The text stresses that health is not just the result of an individual's choices, but choices and actions of individuals, families, groups, and communities that lead to better health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The ANA Code of Ethics promotes social reform by focusing on health policy and legislation to positively affect accessibility, quality, and cost of health care. The code does not directly address workplace issues, such as work schedules or need for overtime.
