Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Direct services are actions that provide health care directly to individuals. Financing occurs as the government pays for health care services. Information is used as all branches and levels of gov-ernment collect, analyze, and disseminate data about health care and health status of the citizens. Policy setting occurs as all branches of government make policy decisions about health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Police power is state power concerning health care. This power allows states to act to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their citizens. Executive power comes as the executive branch sug-gests, administers, and regulates policy. Legislative power occurs as this branch of government identifies problems and proposes, debates, passes, and modifies laws to address those problems. Judicial power occurs as the judicial branch interprets laws and their meaning, as in its ongoing interpretation of states' rights to define access to reproductive health services for citizens of the states.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
