ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. One approach to evaluating care for poor and homeless populations is the achievement of national health objectives as they relate to low-income individuals and families. None of the objectives have reached the targets and little progress has been made with respect to many of them. Programs should focus on meeting these goals. Changing the hours of community health clinics, seeking assistance from city council, and working with school districts to improve nutritional status of the students may be actions to meet the national health objectives however it depends upon the needs of the community and its residents.
