Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The Healthy People 2020 goals are to eliminate preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; to achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; to create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and to promote healthy development and healthy behaviors across every stage of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Congregational nursing, parish nursing, faith-based organizations (FBOs), and faith community nursing are descriptive terms found in the literature and apply equally to the concept of nursing in faith communities. This movement of nursing in faith communities is based on the principles of holistic nursing that recognize the dynamic relationship between spirituality and health of mind and body throughout the life span. Faith community nursing does not require promoting religious teachings. Although faith community nurses should practice compassionate care, compassion is considered a quality of nursing rather than a type of nursing. Participant nursing involves the nurse being an active participant in the social situation being studied.
