Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Many social factors exist that affect access to and delivery of health care, including the provision or lack of employer-provided insurance, institutionalized racism, differing social realities of cultural groups, and the drive to be color blind.
Resentment felt by members of cultural groups over discrepancies in health care access and delivery does not cause the discrepancies.

Answer to Question 2

C
Culture plays a huge role in people's understandings and beliefs about health and wellness. Before designing programs offered to minority populations, the nurse would be wise to consult with community leaders to ensure that interventions are culturally appropriate. This measure is associated with a high success rate in such programs.
It may be true that members of the cultural group have specific health needs that the program helps meet, but this cannot be assumed from the high success rate.
The success rate of one program alone cannot determine whether nurse-run programs have better outcomes than those led by other providers.
The success of the program cannot prove that this cultural group is well assimilated or that it uses Western medical practices.
