Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Gatekeepers refer to formal or informal community leaders who create opportunities for nurses to meet diverse members of the community. Insiders are those who grew up in the community, have personal ties to the people there or comes from a similar cultural or ethnic background. Commu-nity health workers are not professional or licensed health care providers but are community members from diverse backgrounds who receive training to do health outreach work. An advo-cate is someone who speaks up for and supports the needs of the community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The structure of the community is defined in terms of services and resources. The subsystems of community structure consist of physical environment, health and social services, economy, trans-portation and safety, politics and government, communication, education, and recreation. Sec-ondary prevention focuses on early detection and prompt treatment of disease, injury, or disabil-ity. Primary prevention attempts to promote health and provide specific protection from disease. Health promotion activities are interventions focused on improving one's health.
