Answer to Question 1

A
By definition, the first option is correct. Public health nursing provides care to protect the health of the community as a whole. Community-based nursing practice emphasizes the setting where care is provided for clients and families. It is generally assumed that a graduate of any baccalau-reate program has the necessary basic preparation to function as a beginning staff public health nurse; however, this is not a requirement for public health nursing or community health nursing practices.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nurses may make a contribution to short-term impact evaluation and long-term outcome evalua-tion to create a knowledge base for community health promotion.
