Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
A health professional shortage area (HPSA) is a geographic area, population group, or medical facility with shortages of healthcare professionals to a degree that a full complement of healthcare services is not possible. A medically underserved area (MUA) is an area with a lack of medical care services as determined by the number of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the population 65 years or older. A medically underserved population (MUP) is a U.S. federal designation for those populations that face economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to accessing primary medical care services. An underserved population is a subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems because of marginalization in sociocultural status, access to economic resources, age, or gender.
