Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Community health nurses (CHNs) are employed in ambulatory care centers, occupational health and school sites, housing complexes, day care programs, residential treatment and substance abuse programs, and other official and nonofficial agencies. At each of these sites, CHNs meet families and can assess and intervene at the family and community levels.

The challenge is to focus not only on individual students but extend practice to the whole school community of children. Fiscal constraints hold the nurse accountable for the best delegation of scarce resources. In times of limited budgets, the school health nurse, on the basis of the most frequent problems presented in the office, can draw conclusions as to what are the major health needs of children in the community. On the basis of those conclusions, health programs can be planned to maximize health promotion and disease prevention in the school.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Time away from work because of occupational injuries should be kept to a minimum. Males should be encouraged to return to work in an altered capacity rather than remaining away from work until the injury is completely healed. Employment keeps the man active during the day and also gives opportunity for socialization. Because the man should be encouraged to return to work, it would not be appropriate to request additional sick time from other employees or suggest that other employees visit him at home.
