Answer to Question 1

C
Victims of health disparities include those subcultures or people who have been separated from the
mainstream, resulting in decreased access to health care and higher rates of mortality and morbidity.
Some ways in which nurses can help these groups are by increasing the health care knowledge of the
community, seeking health care access, breaking down barriers and ensuring access to education and
care (not breaking down barriers and traditions to western medicine), and serving as role models for
new nurses.

Answer to Question 2

B
Health disparities are differences in health risks and health status measures that reflect the poorer
health status that is found disproportionately in certain population groups.
