Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Single mothers with children constitute 82 of the poverty population. Welfare to work programs are now compulsory, and women must work in order to receive aid. Offering evening and weekend hours could accommodate more women who cannot afford to miss time off from work. The other options might be helpful for some patients and families, but to have the greatest impact on the largest group of people, accommodating work schedules is important for this population of women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Intervention programs must be multi-tiered and oriented to the broader social context in which they occur, because that is where patients are located. Programs directed toward only individuals are less successful. Programs and interventions do not need to include legislation or incentives.
