Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Health care providers are encouraged to work with communities to implement health programs to further the health of the community and to use the Healthy People goals to set an agenda for community health improvements. Community health nursing is guided by the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics with Interpretive Statements (2005) and the ANA Social Policy Statement (2003). Both of these documents include sections on nurses' responsibility to the public and threats to the health and safety of the community. Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Margaret Sanger addressed community issues for community health.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Florence Nightingale believed not only in being a part of the policy process, but also in being a participant in a positive process. She believed that once she determined a course of action to be beneficial to the patients and was active in setting policy regarding hand washing and cleanliness procedures, it was her responsibility to make sure that the policy continued to be followed that exemplifies involvement in public policy. Nightingale was not involved in licensing of practicing nurses.
