Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
By placing responsibility for the cause and cure of health problems exclusively on the individuals, the belief is reinforced that all individuals are free to control their lives. Such a perspective absolves society, government, industry, and business from accountability. Research suggests that changing individual behaviors does not lead to significant reductions in overall morbidity and morality in the absence of basic social, economic, and political changes. Thus, the nurse must include information in the presentation that addresses the need to improve air quality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Simply completing a continuing education course is not adequate. Several colleges and universities offer a variety of programs to educate practitioners. During the formal programs of study, the student usually completes a minimum specified number of supervised clinical hours; a clinical internship also may be required.
