Answer to Question 1

D
To determine the health status of the community, the nurse should examine morbidity and mortality
rates for the community. Other indications of the community's health status may include birth and
death rates, life satisfaction inventories, and lifestyle functioning measures.

Answer to Question 2

A
An assets-based approach lends itself to identifying how the community can manage its own health
needs by building on community and population group strengths and resources. Identifying assets and
resources would be one of the first steps to developing a partnership. In a true partnership, neither the
nurse nor the community have all of the power because it is a mutual relationship.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
