Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Like any other lifestyle choice, religion can have adverse consequences. For example, religious beliefs may encourage avoidance or discontinuance of traditional treatments or lead to a delay or failure to seek timely medical care. Complementary therapies are generally beneficial and a focus on physical and spiritual aspects of health is beneficial.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Values are ideals or beliefs of importance to people that greatly determine how they act and behave. Family background, peer interaction throughout the lifespan, and secular and religious education influence values and ways of thinking (Boehnlein, 2000). Values help people make decisions and influence behavior.
