Answer to Question 1

D
Mandatory reporting is state law that requires health practitioners to report STIs to reduce the incidences of more people being infected/reinfected. The Good Samaritan Law is designed to protect from liability those people who assist in an emergency situation outside of the workplace. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects those with disabilities from discrimination. Whistleblower's law protects those who report wrongdoing by corporations or others that have the potential to harm others.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The Wheels of Wellness model identifies the following dimensions of health: emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, social/family, and occupational. A weekly discussion group stimulates intellectual health. A relationship between local pastors and those living in subsidized housing creates a climate for spiritual health. A tutorial program offered by seniors to local children will facilitate occupational health. An on-site healthcare clinic addresses physical health.
