Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The executive branch includes regulatory departments, one of which is the USDHHS. The judi-cial branch is composed of a system of federal, state, and local courts guided by the opinions of the Supreme Court. The legislative branch is made up of the Senate and the House of Represent-atives, whose members are elected by the citizens of particular geographic areas. There is not a health branch of the government.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
When working with immigrants, it is important to be aware of one's own beliefs while realizing that language barriers may exist, that different populations experience different risk factors and illnesses, and that nontraditional healing practices may be used. It would not be appropriate to impose the American culture into the encounter.
