Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 4
Rationale:
Social determinants of health are factors that arise from the social or physical environment that can lead to health problems. Age is not a social or physical factor; however, income is a factor that arises from the social environment, while food and water and the distance one must travel to the workplace are components of the physical environment, all of which can influence health.
