Question 2

The nurse is using the community-as-partner model to complete a community health assessment. Which does the flexible line of defense represent?
 
  A) Level of health the community has reached over time
  B) Internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors
  C) Buffer zone representing a dynamic level of health resulting from a temporary response to stress
  D) Tension-producing stimuli that have the potential of causing disequilibrium in the system

Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The degree of reaction is dependent on stressors and the lines of resistance. Whether the stressor (a disease process) is present and the lines of resistance (how well the person or community can resist the disease) will determine how widespread and how dangerous a disease could become (the degree of reaction). The core of the assessment wheel represents the people who make up the community. The flexible line of defense is a dynamic level of health resulting from the temporary response to stress. Normal line of defense is the level of health the community has reached over time.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Flexible line of defense is the buffer zone representing a dynamic level of health resulting from a temporary response to stress. Normal line of defense is the level of health the community has reached over time. Lines of resistance are internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors. Stressors are tension-producing stimuli that have the potential of causing disequilibrium in the system.
