Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Rural health has different meanings in different parts of the world. In developing countries, it often refers to basic public health services, such as clean water, immunizations, and prevention of HIV. In Australia, New Zealand, and, to some extent, Canada and the United States, it often refers to native or aboriginal populations. In much of the United States, it is commonly used to describe issues that affect timely access to appropriate, effective, affordable services for persons who live in areas of low population density, often at a distance from specialty and tertiary care, that results in a greater role for primary care as compared with urban areas.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Health promotion services that can form the basis for a community nursing intervention include referral to existing state pharmacy assistance programs; continuous source of primary care; connection to chronic illness support groups; and one-stop shopping for health care.
