Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
According to the World Health Organization statistical information system, health indicators may be placed into four categories: morbidity and mortality, risk factors, health service coverage, and health system resources. Health service coverage data identify uptake of specific services known to improve or promote health and well-being, such as reproductive health services, infant and child health and immunization, HIV, and tuberculosis care. Morbidity and mortality are measured by life expectancy at birth and health-adjusted life expectancy at birth. Risk factors focus on nutrition and health behaviors and environmental factors such as clean drinking water and burning of solid fuels. Health system resources focus on the capacity and supply of healthcare providers.
