Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A family consists of two or more members who self-identify as a family and interact and depend on one another socially, emotionally, and financially. Because the patient self-identifies the friend as like a sister, the patient and friend consider themselves a family.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Underserved, typically poor, populations face multiple obstacles to obtaining health care that need to be considered when organizing events. If the clinic hours were during the day, parents might be reluctant to pull children out of school for fear of being labeled as truant. Parents participating in welfare to work programs or who have low-skill, low-wage jobs might not be able to miss work, or would forfeit pay by doing so. Participants need transportation to the clinic, which is located in one area of town. Language barriers could lead to confusion or misunderstanding or lack of awareness of the clinic. The lack of insurance shouldn't be a concern because the vaccinations are free, but it is possible this was a point that some misunderstood.
