Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Human biological determinants influencing a population's health reflect specific physical attributes of its members. Native Americans have shorter expected life spans than the rest of the populations because of the higher incidence of some chronic diseases, alcoholism, and homicide. Considerations in assessing the sociocultural determinants include information about community government and leadership, language, income and education levels, employment levels and occupations, marital status and family composition, and religion. Behavioral determinants include consumption patterns, leisure pursuits, and other health-related behaviors. Health system determinants include existing services, level of performance of the services, and areas in which services are lacking.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Family resilience is the ability of a family to function competently in the face of stressful demands. Projection is attributing one's own motivation to other people. Intellectualization is focusing on abstract, technical, or logical aspects of a threatening situation to insulate oneself from painful emotions generated. Faith would not be the best way to describe this situation.
