Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
First and foremost is the role of caregiver. While collaborator, change agent, and case manager are important, they are not the priority.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
As an epidemiologist, you are involved in case finding, health teaching, and tracking incident rates of an illness (outbreak of lice). The nurse did not teach the students about lice. The nurse did not provide care for the lice. The nurse did not coordinate needed resources and services for a group of patient's well-being (case manager).
