Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Social determinants of health are such factors as economic status, education, environmental fac-tors, nutrition, stress, and prejudice that lead to resource constraints, poor health, and health risk. Ethnicity, gender, and marital status are not considered social determinants of health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Barriers to access are policies and financial, geographic, or cultural features of health care that make services difficult to obtain or so unappealing that people do not want to seek care. Exam-ples of removing barriers include providing extended clinic hours, low-cost or free health services for people who are uninsured or underinsured, transportation, mobile vans, and professional in-terpreters, which can help improve access to care.
