Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, E
Feedback:
Appropriate rationales for performing community assessments in the school setting include the following: to learn about the outbreak of specific communicable infectious disease (lice); to learn about healthcare practices associated with a specific chronic disease (asthma); and to learn how best to protect children and adolescents, as well as their families, from the spread of infectious disease in a school setting. The staging of a brain tumor would not be appropriate for a community assessment and should be performed by a specialist in a provider's office or in a hospital. Assessing students for food allergies would also not be an appropriate community assessment as it does not pose an immediate threat to the health of the public, is not infectious, and is not communicable.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D
Feedback:
The collaborative model has distinct drawbacks. This form of assessment is time-consuming and logistical, and systematic approaches must be preestablished to maintain clarity in the approach for all those involved. The collaborative model is characterized by a group decision-making process, not an individual one. Problem solving would be multidisciplinary and simultaneous, not linear. Collaboration would be enhanced, not limited.
