Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Environmental health issues in rural communities, such as pesticide exposure or health hazards from point-source factory emissions, are more effectively assessed and remedied on a community level than on a case-by-case basis. Nurses' involvement in helping people understand health problems in a larger context can be the genesis of change. It is not realistic to have farmers quit or reduce the spreading of chemicals, spray water on their fields after chemical application, or ask them to obtain different employment. Nurses must work with farmers so that they are able to use safe measures when applying the chemicals to their fields.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A person who lives with a disability commonly becomes an expert at knowing what works best for his or her body. The nurse must ask the client what works best for him or her and what goals the client is pursuing. Research is based on probabilities of effectiveness with large groups, but individuals may have a different unique reaction to any intervention.
