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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
