Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Social organization has no effect on a biological variation for disease or illness.
2. Environmental control is the ability of members of a particular cultural group to plan activities that control nature or direct environmental factors.
3. The ways in which people from one cultural group differ biologically from members of other cultural groups constitute their biological variation.
4. Heritage consistency addresses a lifestyle reflective of a tribal culture, but is not a biological impact on disease or illness.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. Showing up to a patient's home without prior notification can endanger the patient relationship, as it does not show respect for the patient.
2. Informing the patient of the approximate time the visit will be made will let him or her know when the visit will occur.
3. Bringing a gift to the patient's home on the initial visit is not appropriate, because it indicates that the home health visit is more of a social visit than a professional visit.
4. Giving a general idea of when the visit will be made does not allow the patient to plan other activities that may be important.
