Answer to Question 1

A
Intuition is the inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. For example, a nurse walks into a patient's room and, by looking at the patient's appearance without the benefit of a thorough assessment, senses that he or she has worsened physically. Intuition is a common experience that many people have when interacting with their environments.

Answer to Question 2

C
Managed care focuses on control over primary services of a defined population. The remaining answers describe levels of health care.
