Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A study at Emory University found that African Americans at times were offered less pain medication than other ethnicities. If the basis for this was race, that is prejudice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
A: 2
B: 5
C: 1
D: 3
E: 4
The five stages of dying do not always progress in order and not everyone will experience all five stages. The stages of dying are related to a person's life experiences and also apply to losses other than death.
