Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D, E
Nurses can work toward public health by participating in community assessment and identifying potential environmental hazards; understanding and identifying determinants of health and disease; developing and implementing community-based health education; and participating in continuing education and preparation to ensure competence. Although important, managing chronic conditions in daily life to maximize function is a one-on-one nursing action.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Community health practice is changing its focus to prevention of illness, health promotion, and assurance that care is provided, rather than one-on-one care. Official agencies are more involved in direct clinical care, assigning less importance to family- and community-focused roles and functions.
