o patients are not as sick

16 multiple choice 1 point
which of the following has led u.s. healthcare providers to adapt their programs to the needs of various ethnic groups?
o a surplus of medical practitioners
o continued high rates of immigration into the united states
o government policies limiting immigration
o foreign - born doctors practicing in the united states

Explanation:

• Question 15: Elective procedures are not urgent. They are like discretionary purchases (things people can choose to buy or not based on their wants/desires rather than immediate need). Doctors are often involved (so first option wrong). Just because patients aren't as sick (second option) doesn't directly relate to aggressive marketing. Cost (third option) isn't the key factor; it's the discretionary nature.
• Question 16: High immigration rates mean there are more diverse ethnic groups in the U.S. Healthcare providers need to adapt to serve these groups better. A surplus of medical practitioners (first option) doesn't drive adaptation to ethnic - group needs. Government policies limiting immigration (third option) would reduce the need for such adaptation. Foreign - born doctors (fourth option) are a small part compared to the overall impact of immigration - driven ethnic diversity.

Answer:

1. they represent discretionary purchases
2. Continued high rates of immigration into the United States
