Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Hypertriglyceridemic waist refers to central obesity and high triglyceride levels. 2. Abnormal fasting glucose (A) can be associated but not a defining feature. 3. Central obesity (B) is a key component of the phenotype. 4. Hypertriglyceridemia (C) is a defining characteristic. 5.

Question 2 of 5
According to the Ask the Expert interview with Ellen Robinson, Social Worker at MUMC's Emergency Department, which of the following influencing factors did NOT affect any of clients mentioned in the media file?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The reason is that in the media file, there was no mention of any clients being affected by the factor of religion relating to vegetarian parents not finding restaurants for their child. This answer stands out as different from the other choices, which all mention factors that were discussed in the media file, such as geographic location, language barrier, and living in ethnic communities affecting communication with healthcare professionals. Therefore, C is the correct choice as it was not an influencing factor mentioned in the media file.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding the major trends in life expectancy by sex and neighborhood income in Quebec from 2000-2004?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it states that life expectancy decreases steadily for both genders as they move from high to low income, which is incorrect. In reality, life expectancy tends to be lower in lower-income neighborhoods, but it does not necessarily decrease steadily as income decreases. Other choices can be eliminated for various reasons: A is incorrect as life expectancy does not always increase steadily with decreasing income; C is incorrect as life expectancy may not always be highest in high-income areas for both genders; and D is incorrect as life expectancy is not always lowest in low-income areas for both genders.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following issues is MOST LIKELY to present a core housing need according to a report on housing
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: affordability. In the context of core housing needs, affordability is the most crucial factor. A household with a core housing need is unable to afford suitable and adequate housing despite their income level. Affordability directly impacts the ability of individuals to access suitable and adequate housing, making it a core issue. Suitability (B) refers to the physical conditions of the housing, adequacy (C) refers to the basic facilities and services in the housing, and insecurity (D) refers to the risk of losing housing, which are all important but secondary to affordability in determining core housing needs.
Question 5 of 5
"Poverty results from the individual's failure to seize the opportunity or to work sufficiently hard within the current social structure; it is not a reflection of inadequacies and inequalities within that social order" (Raphael, 2009, pp. 21). Which of the following approaches/perspectives most accurately describes this statement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Individual Approach/Individualism. This statement emphasizes the role of the individual in determining their own economic status. The individual approach focuses on personal responsibility, work ethic, and decision-making as key factors in determining one's economic outcomes. It suggests that poverty is a result of personal choices and efforts rather than systemic issues. Explanation: 1. The statement highlights the importance of individual actions and choices in determining economic outcomes. 2. It contrasts with social reform approaches like socialism, which focus on systemic inequalities and advocate for collective solutions. 3. It does not align with the life-course perspective, which looks at the interplay of individual experiences and social structures over time. 4. It also does not reflect the materialistic perspective of capitalism, which emphasizes the role of economic factors and resource distribution in shaping society. In summary, the correct answer is the Individual Approach/Individualism because it emphasizes personal accountability and effort as the primary factors influencing poverty, rather than systemic inadequacies or inequalities
