Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Faith community nurses must be knowledgeable about lines of authority and channels of com-munication, as well as personnel decisions and how these are made in the congregation. It is im-portant for faith community nurses to serve in collaborative relationships with the clergy to effec-tively implement programs. It is typically not the responsibility of the nurse to request payment for services from parishioners. There are typically not policies and procedures as part of a reli-gious order.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The goal of local public health departments is to safeguard the public's health and improve the health status of communities. The federal and state levels monitor communicable diseases, offer services for the uninsured, and enforce environmental codes and laws.
