,Section A - Health Policy AND Politics Foundations AND
Frameworks
Q1.
A state legislature is considering a bill to mandate community health worker (CHW)
certification. Which stakeholder analysis approach would best predict the bill's success
by mapping power and interest of key groups?
A. Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework B. Bacchi's 'What's the Problem
Represented to be?' approach
C. Stakeholder salience model (Mitchell et D. Incrementalism theory
al.)
Correct: C - Stakeholder salience model (Mitchell et al.)
Rationale:The stakeholder salience model categorizes stakeholders by power, legitimacy,
and urgency, directly predicting their influence on policy outcomes. Kingdon's framework
focuses on problem, policy, and politics streams, not stakeholder mapping. Bacchi's approach
is critical discourse analysis. Incrementalism describes policy change as small steps, not
stakeholder analysis.
Q2.
A policy proposal aims to reduce hospital readmissions by penalizing facilities with
higher-than-expected rates. Which ethical principle is most directly challenged by this
approach?
A. Beneficence B. Non-maleficence
C. Distributive justice D. Respect for autonomy
Correct: B - Non-maleficence
Rationale:Non-maleficence (do no harm) is challenged because penalizing hospitals may
lead to avoidance of high-risk patients, potentially causing harm. Beneficence focuses on
doing good, distributive justice on fair allocation, and autonomy on patient choice-less directly
relevant.
Q3.
During federal rulemaking, an agency publishes a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM). Which action by a health policy advocate would be most effective in influencing
the final rule?
A. Lobbying members of Congress to B. Submitting detailed public comments with
defund the agency evidence
Page 3
, Section A - Health Policy AND Politics Foundations AND Frameworks
C. Organizing a media campaign against the D. Petitioning the President to issue an
rule executive order
Correct: B - Submitting detailed public comments with evidence
Rationale:The Administrative Procedure Act requires agencies to consider public comments
submitted during the comment period. Detailed, evidence-based comments can lead to
changes in the final rule. Lobbying Congress, media campaigns, or presidential petitions are
less direct or occur at different stages.
Q4.
A health system adopts a policy to use telemedicine to expand access in rural areas.
Which of the following is a potential unintended consequence that a thorough policy
analysis should identify?
A. Reduced travel time for patients B. Increased specialist availability
C. Widening digital divide among D. Improved continuity of care
socioeconomic groups
Correct: C - Widening digital divide among socioeconomic groups
Rationale:While telemedicine can improve access, it may exacerbate disparities for those
without broadband or digital literacy-a common unintended consequence. The other options
are intended benefits, not unintended negative effects.
Q5.
Which concept best explains why the US has not adopted a single-payer health system
despite majority public support in some polls?
A. Path dependence B. Iron triangle of health policy
C. Punctuated equilibrium D. Venue shopping
Correct: A - Path dependence
Rationale:Path dependence refers to how prior policy choices (e.g., employer-based
insurance) create self-reinforcing mechanisms that make radical change difficult. The iron
triangle (cost, access, quality) describes trade-offs, not historical inertia. Punctuated
equilibrium explains sudden change after stability. Venue shopping is about choosing the best
institutional arena.
Q6.
A state Medicaid program proposes to require work as a condition of eligibility. Which
legal challenge would most likely succeed based on precedent?
