Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Reading the local newspaper with attention to local community issues is an excellent way to stay informed. Most government websites have links to enable constituents to identify their representatives and provide addresses and phone numbers for contacting representatives. Nurses as professionals also may choose to provide nursing expertise as policies and programs are being designed and to work with coalitions who have similar interests in the issues. Community health nurses can also be advocates for the people with whom they work. Being an advocate involves speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Adequate and appropriate nurse staffing is an example of a quality of care initiative. Access to health coverage is an example of an access to care initiative. Advanced practice nurse coverage and medical malpractice liability/tort reform are examples of cost of care initiatives.
