Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Nursing research is a way to identify new knowledge, improve professional education and practice, and use resources effectively. Effective use of resources does not always result in lower budget expenditures, but rather more effective use of resources. A promotion is not a direct result of research.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Healthy People 2020 promotes a society in which all people live long, healthy lives. This program has four overarching goals: (1) attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; (2) achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; (3) create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and (4) promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages. Providing health care to all would eliminate disparities in health care by ensuring access. Perhaps the best way to increase quality and years of healthy life is to promote healthy behaviors. However, providing access to health care would not guarantee changes in behaviors, increased quality of life, or prolonged healthy life.
