Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Nursing diagnoses must be modified to meet the needs of population-focused care in public health nursing practice. Families at risk for obesity because of inactivity is the only nursing diag-nosis that addresses a community group that is in need of further intervention. The alteration in nutrition and overweight child nursing diagnoses both address the individual level, not the com-munity level. Need for increased knowledge does not identify the level that is being addressed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Chemical, biological, and radiological pollutants are often found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the products we use. These are not a major cause of global warming. They are not frequently linked to the development of chronic illnesses. These are not products that nurses work with on a daily basis.
