Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
A nurse should also consider personal interests and strengths in selecting an aggregate for intervention. For example, the nurse should consider whether he or she has an interest in teaching health promotion and preventive health or in planning for organizational change, whether his or her communication skills are better suited to large or small groups, and whether he or she has a preference for working with the elderly or with children. Thoughtful consideration of these and other variables will facilitate assessment and planning. After self-reflection, the nurse will need to determine the setting of the aggregate, consider how to gain access, and identify the community resources available.
