Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the adolescent to early adulthood years, the leading cause of death for women is unintentional injuries (i.e., motor vehicle accidents, drug overdose). Complications of childbirth, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are not among the most likely causes of death of a 22-year old female.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Despite the differences in mortality rates, men tend to perceive themselves to be in better health than women. In the National Health Interview Survey, which asked people to rate their health status, men were more likely to rate their health as excellent or very good as opposed to fair or poor.
