Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The proportion of health care consumers who are minorities is increasing and is predicted to continue increasing. Life expectancies of all groups, not only minorities, are predicted to increase. Government and health groups have called for culturally appropriate care, but this argument gives less support to administration than the power of money. Nurses have an obligation to achieve cultural competency with the groups they work with, but not with all cultural groups.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Women and those over the age of 75 are more likely to live in poverty. Couples and those 65 to 74 are less likely. Five percent of older white men live in poverty.
