Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Growth in racial and ethnic group diversity throughout the 21st century is causing changes in minority groups. Among descendants of European whites, the number of deaths exceeds the number of births. Racial and ethnic minorities now make up 49.9 of the under-five age group.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Health disparities exist and are due, at least in part, to problems experienced in accessing and effectively utilizing health services. Reducing and eventually eliminating disparities depends on building common ground among clients, providers, agencies, and communities so that culturally competent health care partnerships can grow in number and quality of services.
