Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. While all criteria listed are important, the most important is the ability for the policy to have the desired outcome on the target population. If the policy does not have the desired outcome, none of the other criteria listed have any importance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Health care policies must safeguard individual rights and be capable of implementation or enforcement. Requiring a homeless shelter resident to provide proof of TB status safeguards the other residents and is a measure of the quality of the policy. Resource needs, equity, and feasibility are not addressed by this criterion.
