Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Title X of the PHS Act is the Family Planning Public Service Act, which helped 5 million women obtain family planning services in 2008. Since 1970, federally subsidized family planning funds have been available to clinics and health departments throughout the country. These facilities provide not only access to contraception but also routine preventive health services, education, and counseling. The program is an important part of the public effort to prevent low birth weight through addressing the relationship between lack of family planning and those at greatest risk for low-birth-weight infants (women who are adolescents, single, and/or low income). This program does not provide subsidies for child care or utility payments or housing for low-income families.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E, F
Many factors that lead to death and illness among women are preventable or avoidable. Knowledge deficits related to health promotion and disease prevention activities prevent women of all educational and socioeconomic levels from assuming responsibility for their own health and well-being. A significant number of women and their families face tremendous barriers in gaining access to health care. Although different nurses select different specialties, this does not explain why a nurse would choose women's health. Because women face tremendous barriers in addressing female issues, it is important that nurses provide political support for these issues because of their professional commitment, not because it is the politically correct action to take.
