Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The concept of primary health care stresses health as a fundamental human right for individuals, families, and communities; the unacceptability of the gross inequalities and disparities in health status; the importance of community involvement; and the active role of all sectors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Families are changing from the norm of husband, wife, and children to single parents, blended, extended, committed, or cohabitation with domestic partners. Consequently, rather than debate the definition of family, it is more practical and comprehensive to ask the client whom he or she considers to be family.
