c. Our znational zhealth zcare zcosts zkeep zincreasing.
d. The znew zhealth zcare zsystem zoffers zfree zservices zto zAmericans.
ANS: zC
The z primary z reason z for z the z focus z on z health z care z is z the z constantly z increasing
z costs, z which zcannot zbe zsustained. zThe zcosts zof zcaring zfor zthe zsick zaccounted zfor zthe
zmajority zof zescalating zhealth z care z dollars, z which z increased z from z 5.7% z of z the
z gross z domestic z product z in z 1965 z to z17.8% zin z2015. zPoliticians zand zthe zmedia zboth
zinfluence zAmericans‘ zperceptions zabout zhealth zcare; zhowever, zthey zare znot zthe zprimary
zreason zwhy zAmericans zare zconcerned. zThe znew zhealth zcare z system z will z change z the
z health z care z access z and z availability, z but z will znot z necessarily z be zoffering zany zfree
zservices zto zAmericans.
2. A znurse zhas zbegun zto zlobby zwith zpoliticians zfor zchanges zto zthe zhealth zcare zsystem.

zhealth zcare zsystem.
c. Nurses zare zthe zlargest zsegment zof zhealth zcare zproviders.
d. Nurses zare zthe zonly zgroup zthat zis zemployed zboth zinside zand zoutside zof zhospitals.
ANS: zC
As zthe zlargest zsegment zof zhealth zcare zproviders, znurses zare zinformed zabout zthe zcurrent
zhealth zcare z system z and z all z the z problems z that z result z from z people z not z seeking
z care z until z they z are zdesperately z ill. z Nurses, z as z the z American z Nurses z Association
z (ANA) z emphasize, z usually zbelieve zthat zhealth zcare zis za zright, znot za zprivilege.
zTherefore, znurses, zwhose zwork zis zcentral zto zour z current z health z care z delivery z system,
z can z also z be z instrumental z in z working z politically z to zcreate za zhealth zcare zdelivery
zsystem zthat zwill zmeet zhealth zneeds. zWhile znurses zare zin zseveral zcurrent zTV zseries zand
zare zemployed zboth zinside zand zoutside zof zhospitals, zphysicians zand zother zhealth zcare
zproviders zare zas zwell. zNurses zare zoften zmanagers, zbut zmanagers zoften zhave zother

ANS: zC
Public zhealth zrecognizes zthe znecessity zof zcollective zaction zin zkeeping zthe zenvironment
zsafe zand zin z egalitarian z tradition z and z vision. z An z overinvestment z in z technology
z and z seeking z of z cures zwithin zthe zmarket zjustice zsystem zhas zstifled zthe z evolution zof za
zhealth zsystem zto zprotect z and zpreserve zthe zhealth zof zthe zpopulation. zAlthough
zindividual zautonomy zand zfreedom zof zchoice zare z important, z so z is z the z recognition z of
z collective z responsibility z in z ensuring z social z justice, zwhich zentitles zall zpeople zto zbasic
znecessities.
