Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
The Department of Health and Human Services has identified six areas for which it has oversight and that require effort to reduce disparities. These areas are (1) infant mortality, (2) cancer screening, (3) cardiovascular disease, (4) diabetes, (5) HIV/AIDS, and (6) immunizations. End-stage renal disease is not an area of focus.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Marginalization often occurs in people who live below the poverty level in the United States, and these people frequently are poorly educated. In the chapters that follow, higher rates of morbidity, mortality, difficulty in accessing care, and negative outcomes when receiving care, will be seen as key issues in such populations. This client's circumstances would not increase her risk of experiencing a genetic disorder.
