Answer to Question 1

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

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The focus of primary health care is a broad range of services that are designed to be affordable for the recipients 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 appropriate, and socially acceptable methods.
