Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The male is considered to be the major decision maker in the family, whereas the female is con-sidered the caretaker.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because these outreach workers are members of the migrant community, they are trusted and know the culture and the language. Physician assistants and nurse aides do not serve in this lay person role in the community.
