Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
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 aged 65 or older. 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 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.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the opioid receptors and temporarily reverses respiratory depression associated with opioid overdose. Naltrexone and acamprosate have pharmacologic properties that diminish craving for alcohol, whereas disulfiram induces aversive effects if alcohol is consumed.
