Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The ecological framework is a blend of systems and developmental theory with an individual's understanding of his or her environment. Kogan and others investigated parent-health care provider discussions of family and community health risks during well-child examinations, as well as the gaps in issues discussed by the practitioner and the information the parent desired. The results indicate the need for better communication and education between health care providers and clients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the most common STD was Chlamydia trachomatis infection, followed by gonorrhea. The spread of HIV and syphilis are also of concern, but these rates are not as high as they are for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
