Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To be most effective as a disaster responder, the PHN needs to be part of the team before an emergency occurs. PHNs can be involved in educating the public, working with community partnerships, and anticipating potential disasters; however, the nurse must be part of the team before the emergency in order to accomplish these things.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
PHNs serve vulnerable populations by acting as a bridge between these populations and the re-source needs for this at-risk group by approaching health care providers on behalf of individuals seeking medical/health services and keeping the needs of this population on the political agenda.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
