Answer to Question 1

C
Vulnerable population groups are subgroups of communities whose common experiences meet certain criteria which categorize them as being vulnerable. These criteria include being powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised (not enfranchised), and experiencing health disparities.

Answer to Question 2

C
Population-based health care practice is the development, provision and evaluation of multidisciplinary health care services to population groups experiencing increased health risks or disparities. It is performed in conjunction with health care consumers and the community in order to improve the health of the community and its diverse groups. Population-focused nursing practice is defined by nursing activities that concern all people and reflects responsibility to and for the people. Population-based nursing practice is defined as the practice of nursing in which the primary concern of care is to improve the health status of vulnerable or at-risk population groups within a community by employing health promotion and disease prevention across the health continuum. Population-based care requires active partnership of both providers and recipients of care.
