Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although all of the choices represent components of a decision that the nurse might consider, the dominant needs of the population outweigh the expressed needs of one or a few people.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Asking which groups are at greatest risk reflects a community-oriented perspective. The other possible responses reflect a focus on individuals.
