Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
The international community or global community encompasses all nations. Although the overall composition of the communities that make up this global community may differ, some have strikingly similar characteristics, with shared interests and goals, including members' health and safety. To continue to advance the goals of health and safety, there must be a thorough way of understanding each of the communities described, especially if nurses are to accurately target ways to address goals for change. The first step in any plan to help a community is to assess the community's needs. The amorphous nature of the community can create some challenges to the identification of its members and to the assessment of their immediate needs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Triangulation is the use of multiple methods or perspectives to collect and interpret data about some phenomenon for the purpose of constructing an accurate representation of reality. When trying to answer a question about a community, the nurse should consider the question from different perspectives.
