The population health nurse realizes that behavioral factors seem to make a greater contribution to men's health status as compared to women. This is most likely because:
1. Men are more apt to perform healthful behaviors.
2. Men are more reliant on others.
3. Men are more educated about health issues.
4. Men are generally more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Men are generally more likely than women to engage in high-risk behaviors. Because of their gender socialization, men are more inclined to engage in high-risk behaviors and less apt to perform healthful behaviors. Men are not generally more reliant on others and are not necessarily more educated about health issues.
