Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) offers health information titled FastStats A to Z, which contains disease information, vital statistics, and health insurance facts. The National Library of Medicine offers a database called DIRLINE that provides access to organizations focusing on health. Census Bureau data enable the community health nurse to learn about the many characteristics of a community and to identify trends or patterns. The March of Dimes website provides information about preventing premature birth and birth defects.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
City websites provide local information, including geographic locations of city services, such as fire departments, animal control services, and city planning. State websites have health information, such as vital statistics, mental health services, and housing assistance. City and community agency websites may also compile information about the community, including the history of the community.
