Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D, E
Feedback:
The CDC has established a self-assessment and planning tool (School Health Index) and guidelines that can be used in school health programs in an effort to improve the food environments of school-aged children and adolescents. These current CDC guidelines focus on changing the social norms and environments of adolescents. In addition to school-based prevention, the guidelines recommend policy and regulatory strategies, community participation, establishment of public and private partnerships, strategic use of media, development of local programs, coordination of statewide and local activities, linkage of school-based activities to community activities, and use of data collection and evaluation techniques, such as the School Health Index, to monitor program impact.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
In the congregation-based model, the nurse serves a particular faith community by virtue of a contract or job description; this model supports the concept of a faith community nurse who can be paid or serve as a volunteer. In the institution-based model, the nurse serves a health system with assignment to particular congregational settings, acting as a liaison between the health system and the congregation and helping plan and coordinate care, particularly at times of transition. In the parish nursing model, the nurse contributes to the health and wholeness of people in the context of a faith community, is part of the ministry staff of the congregation, and serves the illness needs of individual people, families, and the entire faith community.
