Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
External environmental factors that affect organizations are conditions or events that occur outside the control of the agency, such as new health laws, governmental regulations, or economic trends. Internal environmental factors occur within the organizational structure and include such factors as technology issues, changes in personnel roles, or the implementation of new policies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Many religious organizations are privately owned and administer not-for-profit health facilities, where profits are returned into the facility for improvements or equipment. For-profit agencies distribute profits to shareholders. Publicly-owned facilities are government supported and not linked to religious organizations. Investor-owned agencies would be for-profit agencies with profits distributed to investors.
