A) Dissatisfaction with the disease-focused holistic model
B) Access to health care and insurance coverage
C) Decrease in lay ministry responsibilities in faith-based communities
D) Need for ongoing chronic disease management in faith-based communities
Ans: B
Factors such as an increasing concern for disparities in health care; access to health care and insurance coverage; dissatisfaction with the disease-focused medical model; recent emphasis on bioethics as evidenced by institutions devoted to the interface of medicine and health; and church-based 12-step and meal programs historically have contributed to the movement. Other influencing components are self-responsibility for health care, increasing autonomous roles in nursing, increasing lay ministry responsibilities in faith-based communities, and limited health care system resources.
