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.
