Answer to Question 1

C
Self-help groups often are made up of, and are directed by, peers who have healthcare needs. A growing trend is the development of community-based geriatric organizations in partnership with healthcare organizations. The request of the patients and their spouses indicates that this service is needed in the community and that they are looking for assistance in setting up the Alzheimer's Society rather than having your agency take over the management of the group.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing outcomes research is a subspecialty within the larger field of health outcomes research that focuses on determining the effect of different contexts and conditions, related specifically to nurses and nursing care, on the health status of patients. Nursing outcomes researchers are interested in the structures or management strategies for nursing care delivery, as well as the mix of health care workers best equipped to care for them.
