Answer to Question 1

C
Community health nurses bring together resources to improve continuity of care for clients. In collaboration with clients, health care and social service professionals, and other community members, they coordinate health care services, locate appropriate services, and develop innova-tive approaches to address client's health care issues. A physiotherapist would be an appropriate service for a post-hip replacement client's exercise program.
A dietitian may not be required.
A social worker may not be required.
A respiratory therapist may not be required.

Answer to Question 2
