Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. From a healthcare provider viewpoint, a protocol is followed when they are consulted about a potential or actual problem. Suggesting a course of action for a patient concerned about a family history of a disease is considered a perceived benefit when action is taken to prevent or mitigate the disease.
2. Demographic variables include race and ethnicity, which may or may not influence a family history of disease. This is a patient's view, not a provider's.
3. Perceived seriousness addresses the perception of the degree of a problem from the patient's own viewpoint, not the provider's.
4. Sociopsychological variables include social class, peer group, etc. that influence a patient's view, not a provider's view.
