Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
For health care providers or health educators who want to know if they can qualify for a recruitment incentive or grant that is restricted to rural areas, an excellent resource can be found at the Rural Assistance Center, also known as RAC online. In addition to rural definitions, this site can generate a custom report for any zip code indicating whether or not it is rural according to various definitions, and for what federal programs the area is eligible.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
One creative approach to rural health is the concept of clinical peripherality, which encompasses not only low population density and remoteness from tertiary and specialty care, but also remoteness from the administrative offices where decisions are made that might affect quality, cost, or access to care.
