Answer to Question 1

1, 3
Explanation: 1. The sick role of a person having an illness must be conferred by a healthcare professional who has the authority to make a legitimate diagnosis.
2. The insurance company pays when the legitimization of an illness and sick role is confirmed by a healthcare provider's diagnosis.
3. Society's view of an illness helps to confer the sick role on an individual having that illness, but must first be truly legitimized through confirmation by a health care professional.
4. The person having the illness cannot legitimize the illness and diagnosis by themselves. A healthcare provider must legitimize it with an official diagnosis pronouncement.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Structural variables differ when the provider and the patient see the problem from different angles.
2. Demographic variables address age, race, and ethnicity, which do not influence an individual determining cause of illness.
3. Sociopsychological variables come into play when a patient and health care provider differ about a cause of illness in terms whether the belief of the illness is traditional or modern.
4. Perceived susceptibility is the individual's own view of the seriousness of an illness, not its cause.
