Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Adults who are obese and meeting at a group such as Weight Losers probably have not previously been screened for diabetes. If the senior citizen center always welcomes students back, they have clearly had screenings there before. Hence, even though older adults are at risk, it would be better to choose a different group. Young adults and those working out at a YMCA are not particularly at high risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
CHIP has greatly increased access to health care for many low-income children. The majority of these children live in families with working, low-income parents.
