A national health budget is developed to provide preventive health services to all segments of the population. The majority of the population lives in outlying rural areas. A dilemma for this health service is:
1. Reaching hard-to-serve populations.
2. Reconciling individual practice patterns with national standards and systems.
3. Balancing the need for regional and national coordination of health services.
4. Integration of primary care with hospital and specialty services.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. A rural population will traditionally be harder to reach than an urban population; therefore, this population's access to preventive services will become an additional concern. Reconciling individual practice patterns to national standards is not addressed, nor is there any indication that coordination is necessary at this time. Primary care integration with hospital and specialty services is not addressed with preventive services.
