Answer to Question 1

C
In the public health model of mental health care delivery, the nurse acts primarily as a collaborator. In this model, the nurse (as part of a health care team) assesses the needs of the community, identifies the priorities for high-risk population groups, and designs, implements, and evaluates the interventions used. In reality, due to inadequate preparation during basic nursing education, few nurses operate solely in this model.

Answer to Question 2

C
When the river flooded, it affected the entire community: therefore it would be considered a community crisis. A situational crisis is any event that poses a threat or challenge to an individual or family. A maturational crisis is a stage in a person's life where adjustment and adaptation to new responsibilities and life patterns are necessary. A cultural crisis is a situation where a person experiences culture shock in the process of adapting or adjusting to a new culture or returning to one's own culture after being assimilated into another.
