Answer to Question 1

B
Arranging activities for small children would go a long way towards making the event successful. Mothers in some cultural groups take their children with them nearly everywhere; this is particularly true among lower income parents, who may not have options for babysitting. Small children can be disruptive and distract their parents, so having activities with which to engage them would be very helpful.
A convenient location is a beneficial asset, but it would not be the most important factor.
Culturally appropriate snacks are a great idea but would not be the most important consideration.
Being knowledgeable about common health problems for this group is important, but simply reading about them would not be the action most likely to result in a successful event.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The union of role and identity opens up the possibility of a broader understanding of nursing.
Praxis is the integration of reflection and action.
The core identity in nursing is caring for others.
Nursing is both an art driven by personal values and individualized approaches to health care and a science that comprises the intersection of person and disease.
Mastery of specific skills is too narrow in focus, although skills are important in the scientific aspect of nursing.
