Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The PHN works as an educator, teaching to the level of the client so that information received is information that can be used. The PHN who aims to change behaviors, such as poor hand wash-ing skills and unsafe sex practices, is acting in the role of educator. The public health function of a nurse who assists a client in identifying the services needed the most at the least cost is a case manager. As an advocate, the PHN collects, monitors, and analyzes data and works with the cli-ent to identify and prioritize needed services, whether the client is an individual, a family, a community, or a population. A PHN discusses with a client which services are appropriate to meet her needs. A nurse serves as a role model for the client by being a person for the client to look up to.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The authority of the local health department is delegated by the state. The federal government, local authorities, and regional governing boards are not involved with delegating authority of the local health department.
