Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Case finding has been described as basic to population health nursing. Case finding involves identifying individual cases or occurrences of specific diseases or other health-related conditions requiring services. In the educator role, the population health nurse provides clients and others with information and insights that allow them to make informed decisions on health matters. As an advocate, the population health nurse engages in a number of activities or functions including determining the need for advocacy, determining the point at which advocacy will be most effective, collecting facts related to the problem, and presenting the case to the appropriate decision makers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. This is an example of client-oriented community health nursing and of a counselor role. The role of counselor includes helping the client identify alternative solutions. This is an example of a client-oriented focus but not of an educator role. The role of educator is to assess the need for education, develop the education plan, present health education, and evaluate outcome of the health education. This is not an example of a delivery-oriented focus, which are roles designed to enhance the operation of the health care delivery system itself; and the role of case manager does not include identification of alternative solutions. This is not an example of a population-oriented focus, which is directed toward promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health of the population. The counselor role is not population-oriented.
