Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Collaborative health care partnerships are designed to deliver well-balanced care to the patient as a whole, rather than rendering fragmented care involving a single element of a disease process. Prevention is not solely the responsibility of the nurse; it involves active participation by the individual and the combined services of practitioners in a spectrum of health care disciplines as varied as nutrition, physical therapy, exercise physiology, and pharmacy. Collaborative preventive care can be mandated in the form of health care legislation, with rates for reimbursement of practitioners determined by the individual provider's ability to collaborate and develop innovative methods for delivering high-quality, cost-effective health care services. The role of the professional nurse is to collaborate and communicate health education to the patient and family, care provider, or surrogate. Patient education responsibilities are not delegated to assistive personnel or other members of the health care team and are considered a cornerstone of nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nursing goals for all individuals and their families seeking preventive care are improvement of quality of life through positive lifestyle choices and taking responsibility for health and wellness. Nurses can refer patients to a variety of personal health quizzes, located in the online version of Healthy People 2020, for risk assessments of their health status and lifestyle. The quizzes allow people to track their health and wellness status over a period of years and identify trends in disease risk factors that can be modified through lifestyle interventions or preventive measures before the disease occurs. The Healthy People 2020 initiative helps nurses provide educational materials for individuals, families, and communities, enabling them to lead healthier lifestyles and to make permanent changes in wellness habits.
