Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Charitable giving tends to decrease during hard economic times and frequently does not keep pace with inflation and the cost of providing charity care. In addition, many nonprofit organizations are faced with growing demands for assistance during economic downturns stretching their resources even further. Charitable organizations are not going out of business. There is no information to support that the family has received maximum support or the parents' ability to work is negatively impacting the response from charities.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4, 5
Explanation: 4. Having health insurance is associated with having a regular source of care and a greater likelihood of receiving health promotive services. Health disparities address the differences in measures of health status or access to health services, which have been associated with insurance status as well as other factors. Having health insurance does not lessen the difficulty in obtaining health care because there may be restrictions on the type of health insurance a person has. Not all who are employed full-time can afford health insurance as their incomes may be within the gap that is between federal coverage but too expensive to purchase privately.
