Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Community-based nursing is nursing care directed toward specific individuals.
Rationale 2: Parish nursing focuses on integrating aspects of faith and members of a particular congregation and health care or nursing needs.
Rationale 3: Telehealth projects use communication and information technology to provide health information and health care services to people in rural, remote, or underserviced areas. Video conferences and video clinics enable health care workers to provide distant consultation to assess and treat ambulatory clients who have a variety of health care needs. Telenursing enables nurses to provide client teaching and health promotion to distant clients.
Rationale 4: Collaborative health care describes a process of teamwork in providing comprehensive health care.
