1. ANSWER: C and D
RATIO: The predominant intervention strategies used with families are
primary care, health teaching (including anticipatory guidance), referral, and
collaborating and coordinating care. Screening can be performed by various
nurses, as can care of individuals. Nurses probably cannot resolve conflict,
although they may help family members cope with conflict. Collecting data for
research can be done only with a client's permission.

2. ANSWER: C
RATIO: The public health nurse must participate in the essential services of
public health. This include informing, educating, and empowering people
about health issues.

3. ANSWER: B
RATIO: The term community-based nursing care is applied when providing
care to families in a community.

4. ANSWER: D
RATIO: Intersectoral linkages refer to working relationships between the
health sector and other sectors involved in community development.

5. ANSWER: D
RATIO: Although the public health nurse might engage in any of the tasks
listed, he or she works primarily with members of the community to carry out
core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a
whole and engaging in promoting health and improving the environment. The
interventions of asking community leaders which interventions should be
chosen, assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions,
and using data from health care institutions do not demonstrate the
engagement of the community when making decisions about what the
community actually wants and needs.

6. ANSWER: C
RATIO: The nurse is conducting an environmental health assessment which
includes asking questions about the exposure from the environment.

7. ANSWER: D
RATIO: The ultimate goal is liberating people from health-damaging
environmental conditions by using collective actions. Mechanisms have
included strategic organization, litigation, public hearing testimony, letter-
writing campaigns, legislative lobbying, and mass demonstrations. Helping the
community create political change through organization, use of media,
legislative lobbying, and mass demonstrations shows how collective action
can be applied. The other interventions do not demonstrate the use of
collective action.
