1. Which best describes a key component of health literacy?

• A. Understanding medical terminology
• B. Reading and comprehending health information
• C. Accessing health care services
• D. Navigating the health care system

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Health literacy encompasses the ability to read and comprehend health information effectively. This skill is crucial for individuals to interpret and utilize health-related information to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. While understanding medical terminology, accessing health care services, and navigating the health care system are important aspects of healthcare, the core of health literacy lies in the ability to understand and apply health information in various contexts.

2. Which of the following is NOT an example of public health services?

• A. Control of communicable diseases
• B. Environmental sanitation
• C. Hospital management
• D. Health education

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Public health services focus on promoting and protecting the health of communities. Control of communicable diseases, environmental sanitation, and health education directly impact the overall well-being of populations. However, hospital management is typically associated with the administration and operations of healthcare facilities rather than public health initiatives.

3. Which of the following is an example of tertiary prevention?

• A. Vaccination
• B. Screening for cancer
• C. Physical therapy
• D. Health education

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Tertiary prevention aims to manage and improve the quality of life of individuals already diagnosed with a disease. Physical therapy, which focuses on rehabilitation and restoring function after an injury or illness, is a prime example of tertiary prevention. It helps individuals regain mobility and independence, thereby reducing the impact of the disease and preventing further complications.

However, guaranteeing safety at home is not a specific characteristic of the PCMH model. Home safety is an important aspect of patient care but is not explicitly part of the PCMH model's core principles.
