Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Having a broader focus will help both nurse and patient make appropriate decisions. Unfortunately, it cannot ensure that others will help. Ideally, it will help both parties recognize that health problems are not just an individual's responsibility but often a result of environmental, sociopolitical, and economic factors as well. Encouraging the nurse to allocate time for population-focused health promotion efforts will also help the nurse's individual clients over the long term.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
One's environment is a significant factor. Those living in neighborhoods with high walkability engage in significantly more walking than those living in neighborhoods with low walkability. Having health and recreational facilities in the neighborhood can assist with health, but the family would need to be able to afford to purchase services at these businesses. Having a large active military base nearby would not play a major role related to the healthy lifestyle in the neighborhood.
