Answer to Question 1

C
Although primary health care (PHC) has been endorsed by the United States, it faces many chal-lenges. PHC emphasizes broad strategies, community participation, self-reliance, and a multidis-ciplinary health care delivery team; however, this is not the primary method of health care deli-very in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

D
The WHO adopted a resolution accepting the goal of attaining a level of health that permitted all citizens of the world to live socially and economically productive lives. The name of the resolu-tion that was adopted was the Declaration of Alma Ata.
