Answer to Question 1

C
When a position description contains functions that are considered to be the normal practice of the person in that role, then it is considered a passive delegation act. When Sarah decides what is best for the patients in her care in terms of who should perform the care and then holds the per-son accountable, she is engaging in active delegation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Community services, including public health departments, are focused on the treatment of the community rather than that of the individual. These funds provide personal health services, care for communicable diseases, services for children with birth defects, mental health care, investi-gation of epidemiology, and treatment of bioterrorism threats and attacks. Monies are allocated also for environmental services and for health resources.
