Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Vulnerable populations of concern to nurses are persons who are poor or homeless (families earn-ing less than 15,000 per year would be considered poor), persons who have special needs, preg-nant teens, migrant workers and immigrants, individuals with mental health problems, people who abuse addictive substances, persons who have been incarcerated, people with communicable diseases and those who are at risk, and persons who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive or have hepatitis B virus or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Resilience refers to how vulnerable populations are able to resist or overcome the effects of the vulnerability. These populations do not succumb to the health risks that impinge on them.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.
