Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Information such as that gathered in the scenario above is best used to help target education and support programs that can help members of populations obtain the information they need to make health promotion decisions. In addition, it helps ensure access to reasonably inexpensive screening and follow-up. The other answers do not thoroughly address the root causes of high cholesterol and obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system of hardware and software used for storage, retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic data. Spatial features are stored in a coordinate system that refers to a particular place on the earth. The GIS tool assists in determining locations of disease incidence, characteristics of surrounding environments, locations of healthcare facilities, the geographic boundaries of the communities, and other essential community infrastructures. A functional health pattern is a systematic and deliberate approach to community assessment that involves evaluating the behavior patterns of community dwellers that occur sequentially over time. An epidemiologic model is a process used to assess a community using data collected from descriptions and statistical relationships to evaluate the level of health and well-being within a community and to address identified healthcare needs. A development model is a retrospective, historical analysis of system parameters such as the physical environment, education, safety and transportation, politics and government, health and social services, communication, economics, and recreation in a community.
