Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Telehealth provides increased access to health care by the use of a computer monitor and telephone line. It is useful for monitoring clients with chronic disease, but is not a substitute for health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Pew Commission suggests that increasing minority representation in the health workforce not only is a commitment to diversity but also will improve the health care delivery system. Minority health professionals can be expected to practice in underserved areas at a greater rate and health professionals who share the same culture and language with the clients they serve can provide more effective care.
