Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Community health workers are typically neighborhood residents who are trained in community outreach, family case management, or on-site services. A support staff member may include a business or operations manager and data operations personnel. A clinical specialist is an advanced practice nurse. A specialty care provider has had advanced education in a specialty area.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Students most often play the role of advocate in a nursing center. Students have the opportunity to promote social justice while engaging in community service learning activities with under-served, vulnerable populations. A student needs to be a leader, but with supervision. A student can collect data, but is not yet a researcher.
