Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Feedback
1 The windshield survey provides an overview of health and other community services, the population characteristics, and the individual, family, and community needs.
2 The state health commissioner's blog is not targeted to the particular county's health needs.
3 Contains the top health needs in the state divided by county.
4 County vital statistics report the distribution of the population by age, gender, marital status, cultural/ethnic group, education level, home ownership, and income. The county trends demonstrate the direction of change for each of the county vital statistics. These data help the nurse to develop programs targeted toward specific subpopulation needs within the community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
Examples:
1. Long-term family involvement necessary vs. short-term involvement
2. Necessary to budget for non-insurance covered expenses vs. likely insurance coverage of hospitalization
3. Family routines probably need to change vs. routines being disrupted temporarily

Rationale:
Multiple examples of differences are possible.
