Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, F
In 1999, the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health defined mental health as a state of successful performance of mental function that results in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with others, and an ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity. The correct behaviors represent the ability to maintain employment and relationships, and to adapt to change, including adversity. The incorrect responses demonstrate behaviors that do not support mental health - enjoyment in receiving unemployment benefits, short-term relationships, and living alone.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The MHCs and the Migrant Health Program provide comprehensive nursing and medical care and support services to migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families from many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Bilingual, bicultural health personnel, including lay outreach workers, use culturally appropriate protocols for providing primary care, preventive health care, transportation, dental care, pharmaceuticals, and environmental health. The funding at the MHC may not be any different than other rural clinics. Their primary purpose is not to provide care to illegal immigrants, rather to migrant and seasonal workers.
