Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Broad determinants of health care are personal, community, and societal systems and include environment, employment, insurance, class, race, social support, access to health services, genetic endowment, and personal histories. Family size itself is not a broad determinant of health care; however, it could be included in the larger category of personal history.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
WIC, or the Women, Infants, and Children Program, targets pregnant women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are nutritionally at risk. WIC provides supplemental nutritious foods and nutrition counseling. Forty-five percent of infants born in this country participate in the WIC program. Helping with transportation needs and facilitating return appointments is helpful too, but not to the degree that improving this woman's nutrition will be. The woman might be eligible for Medicaid, but not Medicare, which is for the elderly.
