Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C
Feedback:
Telehealth is a form of electronic communication used to deliver (1) acute (not chronic) care and specialty consultations, (2) home telenursing, and (3) electronic referrals to specialists in expert health facilities. According to Thede, it involves using electronic communications for transmitting healthcare information such as health promotion, disease prevention, professional or lay education, diagnosis, or actual treatment to people located at a different geographical area.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
The seminal work of Westberg identified seven key roles of the parish or faith community nurse: (1) health educator, (2) personal health counselor, (3) referral agent, (4) coordinator of volunteers, (5) developer of supportive groups, (6) integrator of faith and health, and (7) health advocate. A faith community nurse would not likely assist an obstetrician with a birth or administer vaccinations at a local health clinic.
