Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The United States Department of Health and Human Services is the federal agency that is directly involved with the health and healthcare of U.S. citizens or refugees/asylees. The National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are three important organizations in which research is undertaken and used effectively to address key healthcare concerns such as HIV screening and care, address adverse events in hospital settings, and promote measures to decrease the rates of emerging infectious diseases.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Bilateral agencies and organizations conduct their services within one specific country. USAID is a good example in the United States. It is a committed initiative that works with developing countries to enhance systems to fortify the health and welfare of international populations. Multilateral agencies and organizations receive funding from both governmental and nongovernmental sources. Examples of multilateral agencies include the United Nations and the WHO. The World Bank is another multilateral organization. Its major goal is to lend money to countries in need of developing their infrastructure on a variety of fronts.
