Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Wald emphasized that one could not understand an individual without understanding the family, and the family is in the grip of larger social and economic forces that they cannot control. It was not suggested by Wald that clients be encouraged to join the Henry Street settlement, focus on providing care in the client's home, or that it was the nurse's responsiblity to keep clients healthy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
As it is clearly impossible and impractical to give service to each person in a community, the best approach considers the community itself to be the unit of service.
