Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

All of the above factors may influence physical and emotional health in some way, but stress is most likely having the greatest impact with the symptoms being reported. Emotional stress affects the immune system and typically causes individuals to be less attentive to their personal health. Individuals under stress may also use mood-altering substances to feel better.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4, 5

The awareness of belonging to a group in which certain characteristics or aspects such as culture and biology differentiate the members of one group from another is the concept of ethnicity. It is defined by a shared interest, heritage, religion, food, politics, or geography and nationality. Inclusion in an ethnic group may be self-directed. An individual may share the viewpoints, geography, and nationality of an ethnic group by personal choice. The United States represents a population of diverse individuals. There has been an increase in blending races. Many individuals now classify themselves as biracial or multiracial. The use of skin tone or facial features is not an acceptable means to determine racial or cultural heritage. This method of assessment and classification is shortsighted and may result in errors. Genetic heritage and biologic and physiologic characteristics may not all be shared between all members of the same race.
