Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The presence of risk factors does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease or dysfunction. Control of risk factors does not guarantee that a disease will not develop. However, risk factor identification assists patients in visualizing those areas in life that can be modified or even eliminated to promote wellness and prevent illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A person's compliance with treatment is affected by economic status. A person tends to give a higher priority to food and shelter than to costly drugs or treatments. A person generally seeks approval and support from social networks, and this desire for approval affects health beliefs and practices. Internal and external variables influence how a person thinks and acts toward health care. Employment status is an external variable, not an internal variable.
