Answer to Question 1

B
Successful community health nursing practice involves building relationships with the community and responding to changes within the community. No immunizations were given. There was no mention of managing disease in this scenario. The nurse did not influence chronic factors.

Answer to Question 2

B
The blended family is formed when parents bring unrelated children from prior or foster parent-ing relationships into a new, joint living situation. A nuclear family consists of husband and wife (and perhaps one or more children). The extended family includes relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins) in addition to the nuclear family. The single-parent family is formed when one parent leaves the nuclear family because of death, divorce, or desertion or when a sin-gle person decides to have or adopt a child.
