Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Health literacy in an important concept in health. If the patient cannot read or comprehend written material, it will be of limited use. The nurse first assesses the patient's ability to read and comprehend written material before choosing the material with which to send him/her home. Patients may or may not realize what they need for discharge, if anything. Giving the patient the same material other patients get does not acknowledge their need for holistic and individualized care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A public health nurse works with communities as a larger whole and is concerned with specific target or vulnerable groups within that community. The other options are inaccurate.
