Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
To initiate a felt need and desire for change within a community, those organizations that report actual or potential health concerns are contacted, and a meeting is scheduled to report the findings of the community assessment; this occurs during stage 1.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The written goal must be specific with observable outcomes in order for the community health nurse to evaluate progress. Modifiers such as know, aware, and realize are less precise terms that have many interpretations. To increase or decrease by a specific percentage is a more precise term that has fewer interpretations. Each goal and objective should include a time frame for attaining the change (e.g., By June 15th ); the direction and magnitude of the change (e.g., Increase immunization levels to 95); the method of measuring the change (e.g., After the session, each participant will demonstrate ___).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
