Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Males continue to delay medical treatment, resulting in men being sicker when they do seek health care. Because they are sicker, they require more intensive medical care. The main reason that they are sicker does not relate to the increased or decreased incidence of acute or chronic illness or lack of access to care, the delayed time in seeking treatment is what results in them being sicker at the time of hospital admission.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
After the age of 65 years, women are twice as likely to die because of heart disease as men. Women have higher rates of complications after revascularization procedures and higher rates of death after myocardial infarction. This phenomenon exists because women display different symptoms of heart disease and are managed differently than men. In 2002, the American Heart Association launched the Go Red campaign for women and The Heart Truth program for health care providers. Both programs are designed to educate about the unique features of women and heart disease. These campaigns address heart disease and do not include information about other chronic diseases such as cancer. Heart disease is caused by both lifestyle choices and genetic factors, thus education needs to be provided related to both of these aspects.
