Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Politics is the process of influencing the allocation of scarce resources, including financial resources, human resources, and time. A policy is a guideline that directs individuals' behavior toward a specific goal or a deliberate course of action chosen by an individual or group to deal with a problem. Public health is what society does collectively to ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. Equity in healthcare refers to care that does not vary in quality because of gender, race, ethnicity, geographic location, or socioeconomic status.
