Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Public health laws protect the community. Required immunizations are an example. Requiring health insurance coverage would not protect the community. Administration of flu shots is not promotion of a law. Monitoring and licensing nuclear power plants are beyond the scope of pub-lic health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Department of Homeland Security was created after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Its mission is to prevent and deter terrorist attacks and to protect against and respond to threats and hazards to the nation. Regulating the licensure of medical personnel, inspecting the safety of food and cosmetics, and regulating managed care organizations are not responsibilities of this department. These activities are regulated by other state or federal government agencies.
