Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
A basic tenet of community empowerment is that the community defines its own agenda. Community participation is a crucial element in engaging community members to develop agendas that serve as a cohesive force to mobilize the community toward a process of change.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Nurses have long been at the forefront of integrating health resources by forming partnerships with clients, families, and communities. Community health nurses have the power to develop healing relationships or capacity-building activities that promote health and to empower others to engage community members in collaborative efforts, partnerships, and coalitions. Physicians, nurse practitioners, and social workers serve a specific purpose once the nurse identifies the needs of the individuals within a community.
