Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The factors that influence implementation in the community are the nurse's chosen roles, the type of health problem selected as the focus for intervention, the community's readiness to take part in problem solving, and characteristics of the social change process. The community's readiness to participate is more important than public policy, the existence of formal groups in the community, and the number of community members who have already received the vaccine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The mass media (newspapers, television, and radio) represent an impersonal and formal type of communication and are useful in providing information quickly to a large number of people. The other methods will take much longer for the information to spread to the community members.
