Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse must work with the interdisciplinary health care team to identify needs within the community and create cost-effective approaches to comprehensive preventive and therapeutic care. While providing and planning patient care is still important, the evolving role of the community-health nurse now requires additional skills, such as creativity, problem solving, coordination of multidisciplinary caregivers, case management, assessment, and referral.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a network of providers who agree to provide care at a discount to individuals covered under the plan.
