Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To be most effective as a disaster responder, the public health nurse needs to be part of the team before an emergency occurs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Healthy People 2020 lists communicable disease as an area of focus including levels of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and sexually transmitted infections. One method to reduce the risk of acquiring a communicable disease is by the public health nurse providing information on the hazards of multiple sexual partners and street drug use.
