Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The best answer is to evaluate how individual level and population level nursing intervention objectives are met. Training programs are a criterion but may not address how successful they have been utilized. Systems-level outcomes address ease of access of programs but do not necessarily evaluate care. Client level outcomes include client involvement but do not indicate an evaluation. Training programs are a criterion but may not address how successfully they have been utilized.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Families with children residing in shelters are vulnerable to be preyed upon by other subgroups. Having an area in the shelter reserved just for families can help alleviate this concern. Restricting use of the shelter is possible, but not realistic. Searching everyone prior to using the shelter can raise civil rights concerns. Forcing the children to stay with their parents at all times is possible, but is probably not a realistic outcome.
