Answer to Question 1

D
Faith community nurses must be knowledgeable about lines of authority and channels of com-munication as well as personnel decisions and how these are made in the congregation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Faith community nurses work in churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and other faith com-munity settings and not health care facilities; consequently, certification has little bearing on the decision of a committee or board in the community.
