Answer to Question 1

C
An elevated WBC count is indicative of an acute infection. The normal WBC count is 4.
The normal iron level is 60 to 90 g/100 mL. The client is within normal limits at 80 g/100 mL.
The normal neutrophil count is 55 to 70. The client is within normal limits at 65.
The normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is up to 15 mm per hour for men and up to 20 mm per hour for women. The client is within normal limits at 15 mm per hour.

Answer to Question 2

B
As a facilitator, the community health nurse supports processes that build capacity among par-ticipants, rather than those that direct or control decision making. Enabling encourages client participation and experiential learning.
As a consultant, the nurse involves not only clients, but also community members, care providers, professionals from other disciplines, members of other sectors, policymakers, and government.
As a collaborator, the nurse promotes recognition of interdependence, collective responsibility, and negotiated equity in relationships.
As a coordinator, the nurse works with clients and diverse agencies to coordinate or organize ac-tivities, resources, access, and care in order to promote client health.
