1. When asked by new parents what the life expectancy is for their African American newbo
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


rn, the nurse replies that, ―2015 statistics indicate that your son:
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


a. will have a life expectancy of approximately 65 years.‖
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


b. can realistically expect to live into his late 80s.‖

ANS: C m i


The overall life expectancy at birth in the United States in 2015 was 78.8. The disparity
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


between life expectancies for black and white Americans has narrowed significantly betw
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


een 1999 and 2015, with the death rate for blacks (African Americans) dropping by 25%
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


(Office of Minority Health, 2017). Of the options above, C is the only response that fits
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


into those parameters. The other options are not supported by reliable research.

c. The number of super- mi mi mi


centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a result of heart dis mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


ease and stroke. mi mi


d. It is theorized that super-

centenarians survived as long as they have due to genetic mutations that made t

3. One reason why many ―baby boomers‖ have multiple chronic conditions such as he
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


art disease, diabetes, and arthritis is that:
mi mi mi mi mi mi


a. they have less access to medication and other treatment regimens.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


b. there was a lack of importance placed on healthy living as they were growing up.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


c. they did not have access to immunizations against communicable disease wh

The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


WWII, have better access to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. They
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


have had the benefit of the development of immunizations against communicable diseas
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


es. They grew up in an era of prosperity post-
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now consider health
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


y living when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned, but was con
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


sidered a symbol of status. Candy in the shape of cigarettes was popular, and there was
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi


much secondhand smoke.mi mi
