C) The need for services is greater in Mississippi than elsewhere in the United States due to a decreasing number of healthcare providers.
D) Salaries for nurses are higher in Mississippi than elsewhere in the United States.
Answer: C
Clients in Massachusetts have much greater access to health services than clients elsewhere in the United States, whereas clients in Mississippi face a decreasing number of healthcare providers. There is no evidence that greater numbers of older adults live in Mississippi than elsewhere in the United States or that there is a greater need for services due to increasing populations in Mississippi. There is no evidence that clients in Massachusetts have a greater need for services.
