Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 4
Rationale:
Supporting families in critical care situations is typically a role for hospital-based nurses rather than primary care nurses, who work in communities and in clinics where they ensure that all family members are immunized, monitor chronic conditions of a family member over time, or educate elders in the family about screening for colon cancer. These actions can reduce modifiable risk factors and thus decrease the potential of acquiring diseases and complications at earlier ages. Education can motivate people to seek care that can prevent and detect diseases early.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3
Rationale:
Access to good education is a social indicator of health and disease risk, and improved education globally is a Millennium Goal. Erosion, contaminated groundwater, shrinking aquifers, air pollution, and urbanization are environmental factors that can result in unwelcome health effects, and thus protection of the environment is a Millennium Goal. Treating infectious diseases is a Millennium Goal, since the spread of infectious diseases can be influenced by changes in human behavior, often occurring at the family level. Improving the health of mothers, not fathers, is an international goal that improves overall population health.
