The teen pregnancy rate in one community significantly increased, and, as a result, the school system was seeing an increase in the drop-out rate of teenage mothers.

A student nurse recently worked with the local school system to develop a day care program for the children of high school students so that they could return to school. This is an example of which of the following? A. Building a relationship with pregnant teens
B. Responding to changes within the community
C. Influencing community environmental factors
D. Managing disease

Question 2

Denise is attending a grief support group that you are facilitating. She lost her son in Iraq 18 months ago. She confides in you that she went to her son's grave yesterday and broke down.

She told you that she hurt as deeply as the day she found out that he had been killed and feels that she would never get through this feeling of intense grief. On listening to her you discover that yesterday would have been her son's twenty-first birthday. What is the best response to Denise? A. It would be best to avoid the cemetery on dates that might trigger this type of reaction.
B. What happened to you yesterday is understandable and common in people who have lost loved ones.
C. Next time you go to the cemetery you should take someone with you.
D. Why don't you go home and take a bubble bath instead of attending the support group this evening.

Answer to Question 1

B
Successful community health nursing practice involves building relationships with the community and responding to changes within the community.

Answer to Question 2

B
Allow time to grieve. Some people have anniversary reactions (heightened or renewed feelings of loss or grief) months or years after a loss. They worry that they are losing ground when signs of grief reappear after a period of relative calm. Offer reassurance that anniversary reactions are common, and encourage pleasant reminiscence.
