Social Determinants of Health Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
All except which of the following cardiovascular risk factors are substantially influenced by lifestyle choices?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Arteriosclerosis. Lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and smoking can significantly influence cardiovascular risk factors like obesity, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. Arteriosclerosis, however, is primarily influenced by factors like genetics and age rather than lifestyle choices. Therefore, lifestyle changes may not have a substantial impact on arteriosclerosis compared to the other risk factors listed.
Question 2 of 5
According the Natural Health Products survey:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it combines the information provided in choices A, B, and C. Choice A indicates that 43% believe NHPs are better than conventional medicines. Choice B states that the majority (70%) believe consulting a doctor before NHP usage is necessary. Choice C mentions the internet as the primary source of NHP information. By selecting D, we acknowledge that these aspects are all supported by the survey data. Each individual choice alone does not cover the full scope of the survey findings, making D the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
According to the Ask the Expert interview with Sara Harjee, RN at MUMC's Emergency Department, what social determinant(s) of health is/are at play with her young obese client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all the choices mentioned are social determinants of health affecting the young obese client. A) Lack of strong family or social support can impact health outcomes. B) Lack of understanding can lead to non-compliance with treatment. C) Financial constraints can prevent access to necessary medications. Therefore, considering all these factors collectively provides a comprehensive view of the client's situation.
Question 4 of 5
"What services are medically necessary?"
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Comprehensiveness. Medically necessary services must be comprehensive, covering a wide range of healthcare needs to ensure optimal patient care. Public Administration (A) focuses on government management, not healthcare services. Public Advocacy (C) involves supporting public causes, not directly related to medical necessity. Universality (D) refers to ensuring healthcare coverage for all, but it does not specifically address the breadth of services required for medical necessity. Comprehensiveness ensures that all essential healthcare services are provided to meet individual patient needs.
Question 5 of 5
Based on the Population Health media file from The New Agenda (BC Healthy Living), which of the following is incorrectly matched?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In the Population Health context, the video emphasized the importance of addressing social determinants of health, such as income and access to resources. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that spending money on a movie ticket is affordable in the context of population health. However, for individuals with limited income, spending money on entertainment like movie tickets may not be financially feasible, making it a mismatch. Choices A, C, and D are better matched with the concept of population health as they address the costs and accessibility of healthcare, physical activity, and nutrition, respectively.
