Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The building of community partnerships includes increasing involvement of the public to address their needs and concerns. The nurse can best facilitate this by listening and collaborating with lay community members who may have goals and ideas different from that of health care profes-sionals. Lobbying with legislators does not influence partnerships in the community. Creating seamless systems of care is not related to building community partnerships. Coordinating care across agencies does not necessarily mean that there will be partnerships among the agencies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nursing leadership refers to the influence that nurses exert on improving client health, whether clients are individuals, families, groups, or entire communities. Monitoring the budget for an im-munization program, coordinating an interdisciplinary team, and using resources when providing clinical services are responsibilities of the nurse manager.
