1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of
the American people in the twenty-first century?
a. Bioterrorism and global health threats
b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene
c. The need for increased hospital and acute care
d. Chronic disease and disability management
ANSWER: A
There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced
infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources from
other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to public
health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
describes the basis for this concern?
a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs.
b. This threat could causeNthUeRhSeaIlthNcGaTreBs.ysCteOmMto collapse.
c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety health care programs.
d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
ANSWER: C
Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health care
programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs would be
eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there would be an increase
in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would happen because of the
diversion of funds.
