Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it accurately identifies the three major interrelated pathways linking education attainment with health, as outlined in the Commission to Build a Healthier America report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. 1. Health knowledge and behaviors: Education equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed health decisions and adopt healthy behaviors, leading to better health outcomes. 2. Employment and income: Higher education attainment is associated with better job prospects and higher income levels, which in turn can provide access to healthcare services and resources that promote better health. 3. Social and psychological factors: Education can influence social connections, support systems, and mental well-being, all of which play a significant role in overall health and well-being. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the specific pathways highlighted in the report, such as healthy college, teacher behaviors, educational tuition, institution location, health promotion, and cognitive therapy.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a benefit of the Canadian Health Care System?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: home care. The Canadian Health Care System offers home care services, allowing patients to receive medical care in the comfort of their homes. This benefit helps improve patients' quality of life, promotes independence, and reduces the strain on hospitals. Home care services also enable patients to recover faster and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Health status (A) is a broad term and not specific to the Canadian Health Care System. Medical dominance (B) refers to the power dynamics within the medical field and does not directly relate to the benefits of the healthcare system. Health maintenance/promotion (D) is important but not a unique benefit of the Canadian Health Care System compared to other healthcare systems.
