Answer to Question 1

C
The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 provided an alternative to the private health insurance industry. HMOs provided cost-effective services, used primary health care, and focused on preventive services and education.

Answer to Question 2

C
When opening a sterile package, open away from the field to prevent crossover and contamination. The nurse should face the sterile field. Sterile objects are those above waist level. Moisture is not a part of the sterile field.
