Health Care Delivery in the United States Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which has led to the more recent focus on cooperation between the state and the federal level in relation to public health?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cooperation between the state and federal levels has been brought to the forefront with efforts to plan for bioterrorism, an event that would necessitate cooperation and sharing. In addition, the state is highly dependent on the federal level for resources and guidance. The administrative goals of the president, emphasis of Healthy People 2020, and restriction of available financial resources have not been the main factor that has led to an increase in cooperation related to public health.
Question 2 of 5
Which advanced nurse does not have advanced education in a clinical specialty?

Question 3 of 5
Which best describes the effect of President Clinton's Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry report (1999)?
