Answer to Question 1

A
RHP 2020 identified access to quality health care as the overwhelming priority health care need in rural areas.
Emergency department care is a needed health care service in rural areas but was not identified as the top priority need.
More inpatient beds are indeed needed in some rural areas, but this was not identified as the top priority in the RHP 2020 document.
Female doctors are needed in higher numbers in rural areas, but this was not the identified top priority need according to the RHP 2020 report.

Answer to Question 2

C
Rural areas have increasing minority populations, especially Hispanics. From 2000 to 2010, more than half of all rural population growth was in Hispanic populations, followed by African American populations increasing by 2.9, and the Native American population by 7.5. The nurse would do the most good by learning some Spanish and some Hispanic cultural beliefs and practices that are important when delivering health care.
Although all of these options are good actions to take, rural communities are the sites of the most rapidly growing Hispanic populations, and the best action by the nurse would be to learn some Spanish and Hispanic cultural beliefs and practices that are relevant to health care.
