[AaaA]

Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The health of a community is affected by the social support systems, the community health structure, environmental factors, and types of agencies providing assistance for those in need of shelter, housing, and food. Air pollution and water pollution are community risk factors that may affect health. Living in a rural setting, the number of residents, and/or educational level are not factors in the community that are considered to affect health.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The size and location of a community often determines the size and availability of health care services. Although urban residents have various means of transportation to a variety of health care services, rural residents may have to travel long distances for care. Rural residents do not necessarily have inadequate health care insurance, lack knowledge of needed care, or have decreased interest in health promotion.
