Answer to Question 1

A
Originally intended to represent traditionally underrepresented groups, PACs now typically represent particular groups interested in specific issues.
PACs are active at both the national and state levels.
The lack of transparency in financial matters related to politics and to PACs has led to grass-roots advocacy regarding inappropriate financing.
Being responsive to needs of underserved groups was the original mission of PACs, but this has evolved to include specific groups of people with specific interests.

Answer to Question 2

C
At this stage, the patient realizes that weight is a problem and is thinking about changing some associated behaviors. However, the patient is not yet ready to change. Providing information could encourage the patient to move on to the next stage in the model.
The patient is not yet ready to take action in this stage, so giving a referral would probably not be beneficial because the patient most likely would not go.
The patient is not yet ready to take action at this point and would probably not be willing to maintain a food log.
The patient is not yet ready to take action in this stage, so instructions on specific behavior changes would not be helpful.
