WGU D224: Shadow health Community
|PA| Pre-Assessment Exam
Is access to a sufficient healthcare facility in Shadowville's municipal area a health
concern? - ANSWER-Correct Answer: No
Model Rationale:
Based on observations made during the windshield survey, access to a sufficient health
care facility in Shadowville's municipal area is not a health concern. The SCHC is well-
built and large enough to accomodate the Shadowville Community. The facility has four
stories and is in good repair, with no visible irregularities or cracks. The sidewalk in front
of the facility, which Shadowville residents will need to use in order to gain access to the
facility, is also flush with the ground to aid wheelchair use.
Is adequate access to medication a health concern in Shadowville's low-income area? -
ANSWER-Correct Answer: Yes
Model Rationale:
Based on observations made during the windshield survey, access to medication is a
health concern for the residents in Shadowville's low-income area (South Downtown).
The only pharmacy in the area (Shadow Savers) is attached to a grocery store that has
closed down, with no indication of whether or not a replacement pharmacy will open.
Because this is a lower income area, where some residents may not have access to
personal vehicles, driving to a different area of town for medication and/or medication
refills may not be feasible.

Is ready access to fresh foods a health concern in Shadowville's low-income areas? -
ANSWER-Correct Answer: Yes
Model Rationale:
Based on observations made during the windshield survey, ready access to fresh foods
in Shadowville's low-income area (South Downtown) is a health concern. While there is
a fast food establishment in South Downtown (Shady Burger), the lone grocery store
(Shadow Savers) has apparently closed down with no indication of if/when a new
grocery store will open. We can assume that residents from this area of town are
thereby unable to purchase fresh ingredients and produce locally. Because this is a low-
income area, where residents may not have access to personal vehicles, driving or
catching the bus to a completely different area of town for groceries is neither feasible
nor convenient.
