Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Basic health literacy principles are the same but the assessment, specific problems, and strategies would be different and have a long-term impact.
2. The community is made up of individuals and groups and both need to be considered.
3. All of the healthcare team need to be involved in meeting community needs.
4. The individual is important and must be considered in the community but so much group or population focused needs.

Answer to Question 2

2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. The arrival of a patient DOA is not a sentinel event.
2. Suicide attempts are classified as sentinel events.
3. This patient was assigned a DNR status, so the patient's death is not a sentinel event.
4. Cardiac arrest in labor and delivery is a sentinel event.
5. This patient was not referred to specialist care and then died. This is a sentinel event.
