Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
As the largest group of health care providers, nurses are informed about the current health care system and all the problems that result from people not seeking care until they are desperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to our current health care delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to create a health care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several current TV series and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals, physicians and other health care providers are as well. Nurses are often managers, but managers often have other backgrounds, such as business administration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Health promotion is any combination of health education and related support for health behaviors. It is not specific protection or disease prevention because no specific disease is being avoided. Although healthful living may indeed improve health, there is nothing to suggest the attendees were not currently healthy.
