Answer to Question 1

C
The goals of population-based health care include: 1) reduction of health disparities among different population groups, 2) improvement of access to health care services, 3) improvement of quality of health care services, and 4) reduction of health care delivery costs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Health risk factors are variables that increase or decrease the probability of illness or death. Health risk factors may be modifiable. Health determinants are variables that include biological, psychological, environmental, and health system factors that may cause changes in the health status of individuals, families, groups, communities, or populations. Vulnerable population groups are subgroups of a community who are powerless, marginalized, or disenfranchised and are experiencing health disparities. The underserved are those people who have not received adequate medical care services.
