Answer to Question 1

B
Working with staff from a variety of cultures brings with it differing perceptions of the health care
regime and its inherent elements. Some potential areas of difference are differing perceptions of staff
responsibilities, the role of the nurse, (not the health care practitioner), locus of control, time
orientation, educational differences, and language differences.

Answer to Question 2

B
Population-based interventions at the systems level focus practice on changing laws, power structures,
policies, and organizations. Population-based interventions at the community level focus practice on
changes involving community norms, attitudes, practices, and behaviors. Population-based
interventions at the individual level focus practice on changes in the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs,
practices, and behaviors of individuals, families, and groups.
