Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To be most effective as a disaster responder, the PHN needs to be part of the team before an emergency occurs. PHNs can be involved in educating the public, working with community partnerships, and anticipating potential disasters; however, the nurse must be part of the team before the emergency in order to accomplish these things.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
PHNs serve vulnerable populations by acting as a bridge between these populations and the re-source needs for this at-risk group by approaching health care providers on behalf of individuals seeking medical/health services and keeping the needs of this population on the political agenda.
