Answer to Question 1

A, D
Community health nurses expanded nursing services to new areas, including school, industrial, tuberculosis, and infant welfare nursing. They combined their training and knowledge to educate the public and served as the backbone for the Maternal and Infant Act of 1921.
Community health nurses combined their training and knowledge to bring education to the public to promote health and well-being.
Private duty nurses had always been the mainstay of nursing work; these nurses worked semi-autonomously in patients' homes.
A system for determining compliance was not a part of the developing health care system in this country.
The use of community health nursing increased because of concern with the public's health, not the patient's ability to pay.

Answer to Question 2

C
Committee chairpersons develop the calendar for discussion of issues; this would be the appropriate avenue for this idea.
The party whip is the minority leader and does not set the agenda.
A lobbyist might be very helpful in getting bills passed, but the lobbyist would most likely not have any influence on the timing of debate.
Public discussion is not the same thing as legislative debate.
