Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The consultant role is being practiced when an APHN provides other nurses with information on improving client care. As a researcher, the advanced practice nurse conducts their own investiga-tions and collaborates with doctorate-prepared nurses, answering questions related to nursing practice and primary health care. As an administrator, the advanced practice nurse may be re-sponsible for and have direct or indirect authority and supervision over the organization's staff and client care. As an educator, the advanced practice nurse provides formal and informal teach-ing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at preventing the occurrence of disease, injury, or disability. Classes on breast self-exam focus on preventing the occurrence of breast cancer. Secondary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at early detection and screen-ing. Tertiary prevention refers to those interventions aimed at treatment and rehabilitation. As-sessment is not a level of prevention.
