Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Reading the local newspaper with attention to local community issues is an excellent way to stay informed. Most government websites have links to enable constituents to identify their representatives and provide addresses and phone numbers for contacting representatives. Nurses as professionals also may choose to provide nursing expertise as policies and programs are being designed and to work with coalitions who have similar interests in the issues. Community health nurses can also be advocates for the people with whom they work. Being an advocate involves speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Adequate and appropriate nurse staffing is an example of a quality of care initiative. Access to health coverage is an example of an access to care initiative. Advanced practice nurse coverage and medical malpractice liability/tort reform are examples of cost of care initiatives.

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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
