Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The MAPP model is a planning model that is based on first mobilizing the community; then guiding the community toward a shared vision for long-range planning; and, finally, conducting assessments of community strengths, forces of change, health status, and the local health system. Without completion of the first phase, the model is unable to be implemented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The first communitywide efforts toward improving health were environmental planning for water and sewer systems. Mass community immunizations, laws regarding quarantine, and segregation of ships were not among the first efforts to improve community health.
