Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Using informal networks in the community is essential. The involvement of informal networks and local leaders in planning health interventions is crucial. To be able to do that, the nurse must first listen to how the community perceives its problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Building on McKinlay's river metaphor, McKinlay and Marceau (2000) purport that government and private efforts to address homeless health care problems largely focus on pulling the bodies out of the river of homelessness. Such downstream interventions aimed at treating or alleviating health care problems, such as physical disease and mental illnesses, are worthy and needed. However, these interventions when used alone are far less adequate in alleviating homeless people's social health problems. To improve the social health of the homeless, it is necessary to go upstream and focus on the primary contributors to homelessness itself (i.e., lack of affordable housing, inadequate income, and insufficient services).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
