Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The focus of PHC is a broad range of services that are designed to be affordable for the recipi-ents of the care and the governments who provide them. The emphasis of care is on prevention and the means of providing the care is based on practical, scientifically sound, culturally appro-priate, and socially acceptable methods. All clients can receive PHC services regardless of insur-ance status. Those receiving primary care services may or may not need referral to a specialist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 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. Medicare began as part of the Social Security Act. The Healthy People initiative began as part of the 1979 Surgeon General's Report addressing the health needs of Americans.
