Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse is caring for a patient in the home. Community-based nursing is nursing somewhere in the community. As the nurse is not focusing on the health of the community but on an individual, it is not community or public health nursing. It is not acute care hospital nursing because the nurse is seeing the patient in his or her home.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A nurse and a social worker were assigned to each district to meet the needs of their communities in nursing, social work, and health education. This plan was widely accepted and very successful.
