Answer to Question 1

3. Be alert for sudden weakness or numbness..

Rationale:
Warning signs of stroke include sudden weakness, numbness, paralysis, loss of speech, confusion, dizziness, unsteadiness, and loss of balancethe key word is sudden. Family history and past medical history can be indicators for risk, but they are not warning signs of stroke. Gradual onset of symptoms is not indicative of a stroke.

Answer to Question 2

3. County health department

Rationale:
The county health department would be able to supply information about location of health facilities, occupational health programs, numbers of health professionals, numbers of welfare recipients, and so on. The police department has statistics regarding incidence of crime, vandalism, and drug addiction. The city health planning board has information about health needs and practices. The state census data describe population composition and characteristics.
