Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Families most frequently served by the community health nurse are disadvantaged in that they are unable to buy health care from the private sector. However, constraints to obtaining needed health and social services are well documented and may come from characteristics of health and social services rather than individual family limitations. The nurse should note those constraints that prevent full use of the resource such as hours of service, distance and transportation, availability of interpreters, and criteria for receiving services.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Dysmenorrhea is the greatest single cause of absenteeism from school and work among young women and causes the loss of approximately 140 million working hours annually; therefore the economic influence of this condition is significant. A child's illness, mental health disorders, and upper respiratory tract infections do not cause as many days of absenteeism as dysmenorrhea.
