Answer to Question 1

B
Health care disparities are persistent irregularities between the health outcomes of people in one group versus the people in another group due to variables such as gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and/or health care access. The type of illness one has, or the type of one hospital one uses, does not affect health care disparity.

Answer to Question 2

B
The process component of health care includes the quality activities, procedures, tasks, communication, and process performed within the health care structures. These include hospital admissions, surgical operations, nursing and medical care delivery, referrals to specialized physicians, and discharge procedures. Medical records would be included in the structure component. The absence of health care infections and recruitment and retention of nurses are both part of the outcome component of health care.
