Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Teaching vulnerable individuals, families, and groups strategies to prevent illness and promote health is one of the ways nurses provide care for these populations. Setting up clinics, advising legal consultants, and making laws do not address the direct care provision role of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Accurate morbidity and mortality data are difficult to obtain due to farm workers leaving when no longer working, going back to their home to receive medical services, and decreases in infec-tious diseases that are easier to record.
