Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The PHN role is best demonstrated by the action of assisting clients who are uninsured in finding resources and services. Learning about the core competencies is important, but does not demon-strate a nurse working with families and communities. The PHN is not typically involved with inpatient client discharge. The PHN may assess family structure, but that is not the best example of how a nurse works with families and communities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Immigration and modest difference in natural increases has increased in racial and ethnic diver-sity, which is reflected in the decline in the white, non-Hispanic population. Culturally competent care is necessary to best meet the health care needs of diverse and changing families. Provision of culturally competent care should be of higher priority than understanding family dynamics, rec-ognizing the stress in two-income parent households, or learning how to care for people in their homes. Culturally competent care is needed to form and maintain a relationship with the family.
