Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Collaboration promotes the development of plans and a directory of emergency responses. How to use algorithms is a key type of information that is shared. Blaming others is not part of collab-oration. Determining what shelters will be used and by whom is not the priority for collaboration. How political action will be necessary to ensure public health is not a priority for collaboration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In the active system, a PHN begins to search for cases through contacts in the community. The nurse names the disease and gathers data about existing cases to try to determine the magnitude of the problem. In the passive system, case reports are sent to local health departments by health care providers. In the sentinel system, trends in commonly occurring diseases or key health indi-cators are monitored. Special systems are developed for collecting particular types of data and may be a combination of active, passive, and/or sentinel systems.
