Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although PHC has been endorsed by the United States, it faces many challenges. PHC empha-sizes broad strategies, community participation, self-reliance, and a multidisciplinary health care delivery team; however, this is not the primary method of health care delivery in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
By definition, PHC includes basic health care services with the emphasis on prevention. Tertiary health care is highly specialized medical care. Public health care focuses on care for populations. Specialized care focuses on only one aspect of a patient's health.
