  1. A nurse is caring for the community as the client. Which of the following is most likely the focus of the nurse’s care?
a. Providing care for aggregates living in the community
b. The collective good of the population
c. The provision of care for families in the home setting
d. Providing health education in the community

 

 

ANS:   B

The community is considered the client when the nursing focus is on the collective good of the population. Providing education is one way the nurse can care for the community as the client; however, the focus of nursing care is larger in scope than only education. Provision of care for aggregates and families does not address the larger scope of community as client.
