True

Answer to Question 2

The focus of public health services is primarily preventive in nature. Services provided through local health departments include: (a) health counseling to families regarding family planning, prenatal and postpartum care, growth and development, nutrition, and medical care; (b) skilled nursing care and treatment for the acute and chronically ill; (c) physical rehabilitation to patients with strokes, arthritis, and similar medical conditions; (d) school health services to public and parochial institutions and liaison services among home, school, and community; (e) disease prevention and control; (f) immunization services; (g) referral of families and individuals to make maximum use of available community resources; (h) environmental sanitation, which involves developing and enforcing codes, rules, and regulations designed to maintain and/or improve conditions in the environment that affect health (this activity covers a broad area, including air and water pollution, food protection, waste material disposal, and sanitation of recreation facilities); (i) maintenance of an index of all area births, deaths, marriages, and current communicable diseases; and (j) health education and information services to stimulate the public to recognize existing health problems. In the United States, the vast majority of health-care services are private rather than public (that is, administered by the government).
