Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Religion is the outward practice of a spiritual system of beliefs, values, codes of conduct, and rituals. It is an organized system of practices and beliefs in which people engage. Church services and bar mitzvahs are examples of religious practices, rather than beliefs or values.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Health literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. Lifestyle changes, adherence to treatment, and an understanding of medications may all result from improved health literacy, but these are not definitive of the concept.
