Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Participant observation refers to the deliberate sharing in the life of a community, such as partici-pating in a local fair or festival, or attending a political or social event.
The nurse is deliberately sharing in the life of the community by reading the newspaper. An in-formant interview is a method of community data collection that involves directed conversation with selected community members. A focus group is similar to an interview in that it collects data mainly through asking open-ended questions to participants, but to a small group rather than an individual. Windshield surveys are a method of simple observation, providing a quick overview of a community.
