Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
An example of an intervention for population-based nursing practice is policy development and enforcement. Examples of criteria for public health nursing include focusing on entire population; reflecting community priorities and needs; and promoting health through epidemiologic evidence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Before a program is implemented, the manner in which it is to be evaluated must be established. Establishing criteria during or after implementation will not help direct the program. It should be done when promoting health partnerships with school, but not solely in this case, and should always be done before implementing any program no matter where it is implemented.
