Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The client with type 2 diabetes but no symptoms is in the subclinical stage, as the disease is present but not causing noticeable signs yet.

Positive reinforcement (D) is more appropriate during the maintenance stage.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is a physical resource that the nurse would identify during community asset mapping?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a large conference room to hold meetings is a physical resource that the nurse can identify during community asset mapping. This resource is tangible and directly impacts the nurse's ability to conduct meetings and engage with the community. Staff training and experience (A) and educational resources (B) are important but are not physical resources. Advocacy for political change (D) is an intangible resource related to policy rather than a physical asset. In community asset mapping, the focus is on identifying tangible resources that can be utilized to improve community health and well-being.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement is an example of a process objective a nurse would develop for a nutrition program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) process objective.

This objective is directly related to the nutrition program and can be easily monitored and evaluated for effectiveness. Choice A is incorrect as stating a positive view is not a measurable process objective. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on the outcome for county residents rather than the process for the nutrition program. Choice C is incomplete and does not provide a clear objective related to the nutrition program.
