Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Utilitarianism means doing the greatest good for the greatest number. Distributive justice means treating people fairly, and distributing resources and burdens equitably among the members of a society. Social justice means ensuring that vulnerable groups are included in the equitable distri-bution of resources. Health disparities are the inequalities that exist among different populations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because health problems caused by lifestyle cannot be solved simply by asking individuals to choose healthy habits, change for the community client must often take place at several levels. Society must also be involved in the change by supporting individual choices. There may be cer-tain geographic areas that have higher health risks than others, but this does not explain why care must occur at several levels.
