Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Systems level practice consists of changing laws, policies, and practices that influence popula-tion-based issues. The individual level of practice focuses on interventions that involve working with individuals, either singly, or in groups, and with families is demonstrated through providing outreach. Community level interventions are carried out with the community as a whole and is demonstrated by involving the entire community in identifying and solving health problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Interventions are actions taken on behalf of communities, systems, individuals, and families to improve or protect health status. The interventions do not describe a particular order for imple-mentation. Surveillance is only one of the 17 interventions described. PHNs may use any or all of the interventions. No single PHN is expected to perform every intervention at all three levels of practice.
