Answer to Question 1

D
A person with self-care agency believes that he or she is capable of completing a behavior and therefore is more prone to attempt it.
A person has an internal locus of control when he or she is able to believe in personal control of his or her life and its consequences.
A person's ability to control health care practices, rather than relying on a health care professional or other people, is not directly related to self-care agency.
A person who has a sense of direction and sets goals for the future has a sense of purpose.

Answer to Question 2

Research has shown, that even among patients who have insurance, racial differences in a range of health care services exist.
The disparity in access to health care between whites and minorities demonstrates lasting effects of discrimination.
Research points to the availability of insurance and racial distinctions as being primary causative factors in health care disparities between whites and persons of color.
Health insurance is a major component of access to health care, but research continues to point out the disparities based on race.
