Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The NVDRS was initiated by the CDC in an effort to develop a national state-based surveillance system that could identify the cause and manner of death, leading to prevention efforts by pull-ing together data on violent deaths, unintentional firearm injury deaths, and deaths of undeter-mined intent. The United States Public Health Service and WHO have the goal of reducing inju-ry, but homicides are not reported to these organizations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Forensic nurses can demonstrate the role of advocate by promoting programs that prevent inju-ries. Partnering with public health professionals to implement programming demonstrates collab-oration. Investigating injuries in the community demonstrates the role of epidemiologist. Provid-ing holistic care to victims of violence demonstrates the role of caregiver.
