Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Poverty is a difficult but important sociocultural concept because it has an adverse effect on a large segment of the population, limiting their options in health care. Lack of essential resources is associated with political and personal powerlessness. The idea that the poor can exercise choice or make a difference in their lives is not part of their worldview. People living in poverty may overlook opportunities simply because life experience tells them that they cannot trust their own efforts to produce change. Poor people often look to others, but do not expect others to work with them in making things better. Communication strategies that acknowledge, support, and empower the poor to take small steps to independence are most effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Secondary groups differ from primary groups in purpose and function because they have a prescribed structure; a designated leader; and specific goals. When the group completes its task or achieves its goals, the group disbands.
