Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Services provided by the IHS for American Indians are primarily located in the western region of the United States. Those living on the East Coast have a difficult time obtaining health services.
2. The IHS provides care through its facilities, but also through contracted facilities.
3. Any person who is a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe may be eligible for services, but not all American Indian tribes have received federal recognition.
4. Health services in the IHS facilities are geared to providing services to meet the needs of each area and population.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Partnering and assisting tribes in planning health care needs and delivery of healthcare allows the Indian Health Service to carry out its mission to improve health to its highest level.
2. Allocating health resources based on population numbers does not take into account needs of specific groups.
3. One master guideline will not allow for culturally unique and relevant care for this population.
4. Following only prescribed federal guidelines and procedures does not allow for culturally acceptable care that is reflective of each unique tribe's traditions.
