Question 5
Answer: The correct option is to increase services for the poor.
The social security act mostly focuses on providing insurance support for unemployed people, aids for the dependent mother and children, disable, etc. to reduce poverty.
The options are wrong because it does not only focus on child coverage, public health.
Question 6
Answer: The correct option is B. who benefits from it?
This question should come first because as a nurse, the legislative policy should be made base on the benefits of the people. If the benefits are not to the people then, there is need to review the policy again.
The other options are wrong because result, cost and place also need to concern but the priority is to understand the benefit of the policy.
