Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although the focus of care is the aggregate, the community health nurse will find the majority of time is spent caring for individuals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The exchange of ideas and concerns creates a problem-posing dialogue and identifies root problems or generative themes. The group members themselves create relevant action plans that are congruent with their own reality. Therefore to be effective, the nurse must listen to ensure that teaching reflects what the group wants to learn. Demonstrating respect, encouraging group discussion, and being prepared are all important roles of the nurse, but the reason why the nurse is quiet is to listen and understand the issues the group faces.
