Katelyn is a nurse who has just been offered a job at an elementary school. The
school is located in a poor urban neighborhood. The majority of the children are
minorities, and some do not speak English. Nutritional status of the children is a big
concern voiced by many of the teachers at the school. They told Katelyn many of
the children come to school hungry because they cannot afford breakfast.
Katelyn wishes to learn about the community’s population size and the distribution of
age, sex, race, and ethnicity. The most appropriate source of data for this information
is...
-National Health Survey data
-Vital statistics
-Morbidity and mortality rates
-U.S. Census data

, Rebecca, a parish nurse, was approached by Esther, a 70-year-old widow, during
the monthly blood pressure clinic held after church services. Esther appeared
anxious and asked Rebecca if she could please come to her house the next day.
When Rebecca arrived the next day, Esther told her that she had just been
diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. Rebecca sat with Esther on the couch and
comforted her while she cried. Rebecca listened as Esther talked about her fears
and grief. When she was calmer, Rebecca discussed treatment options and hospice
care with her. Together they made a plan, and Rebecca assured Esther she would
be there to support her. Before Rebecca left, she made an appointment to see
Esther again soon and prayed with her. She also asked Esther if she would like a
prayer request. Esther quickly gave her consent and told Rebecca how much better
she was feeling already.

Mary Jo is a community health nurse on an Indian reservation in South Dakota. The
population she serves has much higher than average rates of alcoholism, suicide,
and infant mortality. Mary Jo believes this is in part due to the remote, harsh
location of the reservation and a poverty rate of 97%. The people have limited
access to healthcare, and jobs are scarce.
Mary Jo and her associates have set a goal to decrease the rate of infant mortality
in the community from 6 deaths per 1000 births to 4 deaths per 1000 births over the
next 10 years. Mary Jo has spent many hours lobbying for funding and applying for
