Correct Answer: 1
The goal of Healthy People 2020 is to eliminate health disparities by improving access, quality, and care among identified vulnerable populations. While improving insurance coverage may improve access to care, this is not a stated goal. Improving prescription drug use and improving nurse-client relationships are not stated goals for Healthy People 2020.
