Answer to Question 1

A
In the orientation stage, the group's facilitator clarifies the group's primary tasks and helps the group to agree to the contracted goals. The remaining options are discussed in other phases once the patient has agreed to the initial terms.

Answer to Question 2

B
Epidemiological studies examine the incidence (number of new cases) and prevalence (number of current existing cases) of a disease or disorder in a defined population over a specified period. The nurse who is trying to plan for services would find these data very helpful. The remaining options refer to other methods of assessing community needs, but they are not as well suited to gathering the data identified by this question.
