Answer to Question 1

A
Changing the wound dressing is the only independent nursing action given. The nurse validates what the patient says with her own observation of the dressing. This option is the only assessment option as well that involves data validation. Administering pain medicine or potassium and removing a leg cast are examples of nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

D
A specialist in public health has a graduate level education with a focus in public health science. Public health nursing requires preparation at the basic entry level and sometimes requires a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Not all hiring agencies require an advanced degree in community health nursing. However, nurses with a graduate degree in nursing who practice in community settings are considered community health nurse specialists, regardless of their public health experience.
