Answer to Question 1

A
Health status is the level of health of an individual, family, group, population, or community. Quality
of life is the level of satisfaction one has with the condition of one's life. Health needs is not a level of
health. Health assets are health-promoting attributes of individuals, families, communities and systems.

Answer to Question 2

C
Race describes a geographical or global population that is distinguished by its physical characteristics
such as skin color or facial features or other genetic traits. Cultural ethnicity identifies a person based
upon racial, tribal, linguistic, religious, national, or cultural groups. Acculturation concerns the loss of
cultural identity into the new or more dominant cultural group.
