After a hurricane has devastated an area, the United States Public Health service sends a group of health care workers to open satellite clinics in the area. This action is best considered:
1. Preventing epidemics and the spread of disease.
2. Preventing injury.
3. Ensuring quality and accessibility of needed health care services.
4. Promoting healthy behavior and good mental health.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Sending health care personnel to staff and open clinics is ensuring accessibility of needed health care services to an area that has been devastated by a natural disaster. It is not preventing epidemics and spread of disease as such, nor does this action prevent injury. While having accessibility to health care services can promote healthy behavior, this is not the best answer.
