Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. While the needs of an aging population will require additional healthcare providers, age is not a requisite to providing appropriate health care to population groups.
2. Consistent care delivery is a goal for all healthcare, but streamlining for one size fits all will not meet the healthcare needs of different population groups.
3. Additional physicians alone are not the answer to providing culturally sensitive healthcare.
4. In order to provide appropriate care to different groups, healthcare workers must show sensitivity to, and understanding of, various cultural differences and needs as population shifts occur.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. A person is categorized as being White if they have origins among any of the original people of Europe.
2. A person who was born in Puerto Rico would be categorized as Hispanic.
3. An Asian is a person who has origins among any of the original people of the Far East.
4. A person who has roots among any of the original black racial groups of Africa would be categorized as Black.
5. The patient can be categorized as being White and Hispanic. The category of other would not apply for this patient.
