MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following major problems results from the denial of preventive services (such as prenatal
care, dental care, and immunizations) to any given population?
a. spiraling costs for emergency medical services
b. health maintenance organizations losing money
ST
c. extensive waiting lists for clinic health care services
d. closing of small community hospitals
ANS: A
UV
Feedback
A Correct: By denying preventive services minor health problems are not detected and
treated early. Therefore, the problems become more serious, often requiring treatment in
acute care and emergency settings, a more expensive approach than prevention.
B Incorrect: The rationale for health maintenance organizations (HMOs) is to provide
preventive services by a primary care provider to contain costs. If individuals have to be
IA
treated in the more costly acute or emergency settings for problems which could have
been detected earlier, the HMOs may lose money. However this is not the most
important problem resulting from denial of preventive services.
_A
C Incorrect: Preventive services are provided in clinic settings. However, if these services
are denied, individuals will be utilizing clinics less frequently, thereby, reducing waiting
lists.
D Incorrect: Denial of preventive servicdes should not have any effect on small
community hospitals.

2. Poverty rates are highest in which of the following types of families?
RO
a. two-parent c. adoptive
b. single-parent d. foster
ANS: B
Feedback
VE
A Incorrect: Poverty rates in two-parent families are much lower than those in families
headed by a single parent. The potential exists for both parents to work which would
increase household income.
B Correct: Almost half of all poor children live in single-parent (usually women)
households. The risk of poverty is high for the following reasons: low wages for
D?
women, low educational attainment for single mothers, and low rates and levels of child
support from fathers.
C Incorrect: When a child is adopted, there usually is adequate income to raise the
individual at a decent living standard.
D Incorrect: Foster parents are typically compensated and/or receive public benefits by
state or federal programs. Poverty is not an issue in these families
