Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Public health staff nurses who have a clear understanding of population-focused care improve their effectiveness and efficiency of practice; have professional satisfaction by seeing how indi-vidual care contributes to health at the population level; and appreciate the practice of others who are population-focused specialists. PHN specialists are prepared at the master's level and function in an administrative role.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Community health nursing practice focuses on the health of individuals, families, and groups and the effect of their health status on the health of the community as a whole. Administrating a flu shot to an individual is the only example that meets this criterion. Performing a client assessment focuses only on individual care and not the community. Providing supervision of staff does not focus on the community. Conducting a flu shot clinic at a community center focuses on protect-ing the community as a whole and would be considered public health nursing practice.
