Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Home health nursing focuses on care of the individual in the home setting, whereas community health nursing is concerned with aggregates rather than the individual. Community health nursing is conducted in a variety of settings outside the hospital such as clinics, rehabilitation centers, and alternate living settings. Options 2, 3, and 4 do not explain the difference.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Depression is frequently associated with fatigue and hopelessness, leading to erratic treatment compliance, so option 3 is correct. Research has not shown depression to have a direct impact on blood sugar, so options 1 and 2 are incorrect. There are not enough data to support the outcomes in option 4.
