Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although being informed and being able to educate the public is always preferred and nurses often do have to justify budgets, data are needed to compare the local community with itself over time and with other communities so that problems may be recognized and action taken to confront health issues. The first step is always to recognize problems as they develop.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths, accounting for about one out of every five deaths.
