Answer to Question 1

C
Family environment is crucial because health behavior reinforced early in life has a strong influence on later health practices. Although American families exist within the same culture, they live in very different ways as a result of race, values, social class, and ethnicity. Economic stability increases a family's access to adequate health care. Some families do not place a high value on good health. In fact, some families accept harmful practices.

Answer to Question 2

A
Dandruff is scaling of the scalp that is accompanied by itching. Pediculosis (lice) consists of tiny, grayish-white parasite insects that infest mammals. Alopecia is hair loss or balding. Ticks are small, gray-brown parasites that burrow into the skin and suck blood.
