Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B

The nurse has an integral role in health promotion. The nurse's aim should be to teach clients how to remain healthy, thus preserving wellness. The overarching goal is to ensure that clients understand the importance of setting health goals for themselves and their children, and that clients are able to assess, implement, evaluate and, as their health needs change, modify them. Some examples of how nurses participate in health promotion include providing health education at every opportunity, evaluating and screening clients to identify prevention opportunities such as immunizations, and promoting wellness in the community by organizing and participating in community events such as health fairs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The student who states that nursing research impacts the profession by adding knowledge and changing nursing practice understands what nursing research is. Nursing research includes the study of nurses themselves. Nursing research does not enhance medical treatment but enhances nursing care. Research also includes the educational aspects of nursing.
