Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Using informal networks in the community is essential. The involvement of informal networks and local leaders in planning health interventions is crucial. To be able to do that, the nurse must first listen to how the community perceives its problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Building on McKinlay's river metaphor, McKinlay and Marceau (2000) purport that government and private efforts to address homeless health care problems largely focus on pulling the bodies out of the river of homelessness. Such downstream interventions aimed at treating or alleviating health care problems, such as physical disease and mental illnesses, are worthy and needed. However, these interventions when used alone are far less adequate in alleviating homeless people's social health problems. To improve the social health of the homeless, it is necessary to go upstream and focus on the primary contributors to homelessness itself (i.e., lack of affordable housing, inadequate income, and insufficient services).
