Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D, E
Feedback:
Nurse-managed health centers (NMHCs) are a unique model of community health services led by advanced-practice nurses and providing a wide range of services and programs to vulnerable and underserved populations. The communities served by NMHCs are usually geographically defined and are most often vulnerable and underserved population aggregates such as the rural poor, migrant farm workers, low-income mothers and children, inner-city neighborhoods, and immigrant communities. The NMHCs emphasize health promotion, disease prevention, and health education. Many provide specialized programs to meet the needs of specific population aggregates such as pregnant and parenting women, teens, or homeless people. Many NMHCs are academic nursing centers established by colleges of nursing to provide service to the community as well as clinical practice and research opportunities for students and faculty and to prepare students with skills to work in medically underserved areas.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Upstream interventions effect change at the societal, environmental, or policy level; such is the case in this scenario. Mainstream interventions effect change at the population or community level. Downstream interventions effect change at the individual level. There is no sidestream system level.
