Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
By definition, the nurse's actions are coalition building. Although collaboration has a very similar meaning, Table 1-4 stresses that collaboration is focused more on enhancing the capacity of an individual or a group. The nurse is establishing cooperative alliances, but not yet working with them toward a goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Populations are not all the same. The needs of subpopulations must be assessed. The high-risk and vulnerable subpopulations must be identified early. Those individuals who do not receive service early become very expensive high-cost users later.
