Answer to Question 1

A
The private sector of the health care delivery system primarily comprises independent providers who are reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The incubation period is the time between an infectious agent enters a host and the onset of symptoms. The prodromal stage is the time interval from the onset of nonspecific symptoms until specific symptoms of the infectious process begin to manifest. The illness stage is when the patient is manifesting specific symptoms of an infectious process. The convalescent stage is the period of time when acute symptoms begin to disappear until the patient returns to the previous stage of health.
