Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
By definition, when diseases are always present in a population they are called endemic. Diseases which were occasionally present and often fairly widespread are called epidemic. Pandemic is used to describe the existence of a disease in a large proportion of the population. Prevalent means widespread, and would not be the best term to describe this disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Most nursing theories have an extremely narrow focus on individual nurse-patient care situations. This microscopic focus ignores the broader global social macroscopic perspective.
