Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
The Millennium Development Goals address reduction of child mortality and promotion of gen-der equality and empower women. Other goals include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger; achieving universal primary education; improving maternal health; combating HIV/AIDS, malar-ia, and other diseases; ensuring environmental sustainability; and developing a global partnership for development. Eradication of communicable diseases, achievement of universal health care access, and promotion of specialty practice by physicians are not part of the Millennium Devel-opment Goals.

ANS: B, C, D, E
Nurses perform many roles related to global health, including providing direct patient care, facil-itating education and health promotional needs of the community, providing knowledge and skill in countries where nursing is an organized profession, and providing consultation to auxiliary personnel. Providing medications and vaccines for worldwide use would not be part of the role of the nurse in relation to global health.
