Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse decides which aggregate to focus on and then carefully defines that aggregate.
Whether caring for an individual, a family, or an aggregate, the nurse must know the demographics of the client and choose which health need has first priority. In caring for aggregates, each participant does not receive an equal number of services, but only those services that each participant needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
There can be interruptions and distractions anywhere, including in a patient's home. In the community, the setting is familiar and comfortable.
