Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Modern health care emphasizes individualized medical care as opposed to providing aggregate community-based health care. Our present system of health care has not served our profession well and has resulted in fragmented programs and limited return on improving the overall health in communities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Participation is an active process, not a process in which one group or organization imposes its values on the community, but a process of mutuality, in which all have voice. Participation involves choice, implying people have the right and the power to make decisions that affect their lives. Decisions made through participation must have the potential to be effective, and there must be social systems to allow decisions to be implemented.
