,Chapter 1: The Challenge of Health Care Delivery and
Health Policy
Multiple Choice
1. Joe is a construction worker. He has high blood pressure and diabetes. He contributes part
of his paycheck toward the benefit of insurance to support medical care costs. At times,
he also finds he has to pay out of pocket. What term best describes Joe’s acceptance of
paying out of pocket for his health care?
a. Access
b. Value
c. Consumer
d. Maintenance
*b
Rationale: The value we put on health has led us to devote just under 20% of our
economic resources to medical care and health promotion. Each of us spends a sizable
share of our income on the health care we need. We spend this money through taxes,
which support a good share of the health enterprise, through forgone wages used by
our employers to pay for health insurance, and by sizable out-of-pocket health care
expenses for which each of us is responsible.
1
,2. An economic report is released that describes the United States GDP. Which of the fol-
lowing would be true regarding the health care sector contribution?
a. 20% of economic resources are devoted to medical care and health promotion
b. 50% of economic resources are devoted to medical care and health promotion
c. 10% of economic resources are devoted to medical care and health promotion
d. 5% of economic resources are devoted to medical care and health promotion
*a
Rationale: The value placed on health has led to the United States devoting just un-
der 20% of economic resources to medical care and health promotion. Each citizen of
the United States spends a sizeable share of their income on the health care needed.
3. The concept of health maintenance has increasingly become integrated as part of the
medical care system. Which is an example of how providers are becoming more involved
in health maintenance?
a. Providing rehabilitation services to heart failure patients
b. Providing home oxygen to a patient with COPD
c. Providing a pneumonia vaccine to a person over 65
d. Providing a refill prescription for diabetes medications
*c
2
, Rationale: In recent years, we also have begun to recognize the clear difference be-
tween health maintenance and restoring health to a person who has a medical prob-
lem. The goal of maintaining health also involves many actors and activities. To some
extent, medical providers help with this huge task by providing screening and preven-
tion services that can keep people from becoming ill and help to identify illnesses
very early, when they might be easier to treat.
4. Health professionals are increasingly aware that the health of a population has many fac-
tors, including social factors, or social determinants of health. Which of the following is
an example of addressing a social determinant of health?
a. A child being vaccinated at the pediatric office
b. A restaurant restricting smoking
c. A 55-year-old male receiving a colonoscopy
d. A clinic offering interpreter services
*d
Rationale: The health of populations is also determined by social and economic fac-
tors. Adequate family incomes, high-quality educational opportunities, and being so-
cially connected are all key factors that predict the health of a given person. Social is-
sues such as discrimination, abuse, and social respect all are important determinants
of health.
