Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: PHC involves issues of the environment, agriculture, and housing. It also involves other social, economic, and political issues such as poverty, transportation, unemployment, and economic development to sustain the population. Distribution and participation are two of the five principles incorporated in PHC. Consumerism and governmental subsidies are not part of the PHC makeup. Low life expectancies and high mortality rates among children are two concerns about health care that led to the global health strategy of primary health care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: false
Rationale : Primary health care is defined as essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound, and socially acceptable methods and technology made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community. Primary health care incorporates five principles: equitable distribution, appropriate technology, focus on health promotion and disease prevention, community participation, and a multisectoral approach.
