Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Clinical epidemiology is a broad field that addresses what happens to people with illnesses who are
seen by providers of clinical care. This study is concerned with the effectiveness of various
interventions. Option A explores the rates of variation in illness among different groups, seeking to
identify risk factors contributing to development of the disorder. Option C provides estimates of the
rates of disorders in a general population and its subgroups. Option D tests presumed assumptions
between a risk factor and a disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The client is unable to maintain personal hygiene, oral intake, or verbal communication. She is a
persistent danger to herself because she refuses to eat. Option A indicates high-level functioning.
Options B and C suggest higher functional abilities than the client presently displays.
