Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Setting up a health fair with nursing students at a local university is an example of a popula-tion-focused intervention. Population-focused interventions address the needs of the community rather than only the needs of individuals. Teaching a new mother how to breastfeed and doing physical examinations on each preschool child are examples of individual-focused interventions. Contacting local officials about the rise in crime is an example of a system-focused intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The scope and practice of the NP, including prescriptive authority, is defined by the state's nurse practice act. Reimbursement policies, certification requirements, and educational preparation would not provide any information about prescriptive privileges.
