Feedback
A Correct. The community health nursing role, case manager, develops and coordinates services for a selected client and family.

D Incorrect. The role of consultant involves the community health nurse as an expert able to propose solutions for identified problems.

The nurse should encourage fluids to help thin secretions. The child's position should be changed frequently. Blankets should be removed when the child is flushed, because this indicates a fever. Tepid baths will help to reduce a fever.
