Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. The exploration of familial health/HEALTH practices allows one to become sensitized to a particular ethnocultural group's cultural and religious practices related to their HEALTH beliefs and practices.
2. Knowing HEALING practices of a particular ethnocultural group may not be beneficial to a particular individual when ill.
3. Rejecting health traditions if they differ from those of an ethnocultural group is not accepting the variety of health/HEALTH traditions that are unique to groups.
4. Generalizing to all members of an ethnocultural group regarding health/HEALTH practices does not allow for understanding of differences within the same group.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Women are the traditional authority figures for guarding a family's health/HEALTH and nurturing the family. Therefore, heritage exploration is within their purview.
2. While women traditionally live longer than men, this does not mean they have a better recall of events.
3. Women may or may not have a better recall of family events.
4. Within some cultures women are the authority figures in the family, but not in others, so heritage exploration may not be done through them.
