Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Interventions are seldom successful unless the aggregate has input into determination of need, its priority, and appropriateness of the intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Rates are calculated by the number of people with the problem over the number exposed to the problem. In this case, 650 persons out of the 1000 at the banquet complained of illness. Although this rate could be presented as an attack rate of 65, 6.5 is incorrect.
