A nurse represents the state professional association. Which action would the nurse complete in relation to legislation?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Although a nurse might do any of the above, the most effective is to provide testimony and comment on issues of importance to nursing. Contributing is dependent on the financial resources of the nurse. Legislators often appreciate volunteer hours spent on campaign tasks as much as sums of money. Giving presentations to schools may be useful, but it may be assumed that most nursing faculty can discuss legislative health issues. Verbal confrontations are not always useful.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The three strategic plan priorities for the Center of Disease Control Strategic Framework are: improve health security at home and around the world; better prevent the leading causes of illness, injury, disability, and death; and strengthen public health and health care collaboration. Improvement of health care access, elimination of wasting health care resources, and eliminating health care disparities are not part of the strategic plan for the CDC.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A four-person household must make less than $24,600 to be considered under the poverty guideline according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: WHO is refocusing as it attempts to deal with environmental issues of nuclear contamination and industrial toxins (A), global problems like antibiotic-resistant bacteria (B), shifting to social intervention (C), recognizing health as a human right linked to government action (E), and addressing pandemics like HIV (F). Emphasis on chronic diseases (D) is not a primary driver.
