Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Unclean water remains a major problem in reducing diarrheal illness and waterborne and water-related illnesses and their health consequences. Educating families on the daily use of insecticide-treated bed nets would address malaria, as malaria is spread predominantly by mosquitoes, but there is no indication that malaria is the culprit here. Diarrheal illnesses are not directly related to burning wood or dung or to sexual intercourse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
Ten new focal areas were added to HP 2020, beyond those included in HP 2010. These include the following: adolescent health; blood disorders and blood safety; dementias, including Alzheimer disease; early and middle childhood; genomics; global health; healthcare-associated infections; health-related quality of life and well-being; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender health; older adults; preparedness; sleep health; and social determinants of health. Diabetes and nutrition and weight status were focal areas that were already included in HP 2010.
