The population health nurse is helping a client identify alternative solutions for a health problem. In which focus and role is the nurse functioning in this situation?
1. Client-oriented and educator.
2. Delivery-oriented and case manager.
3. Client-oriented and counselor.
4. Population-oriented and counselor.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. This is an example of client-oriented community health nursing and of a counselor role. The role of counselor includes helping the client identify alternative solutions. This is an example of a client-oriented focus but not of an educator role. The role of educator is to assess the need for education, develop the education plan, present health education, and evaluate outcome of the health education. This is not an example of a delivery-oriented focus, which are roles designed to enhance the operation of the health care delivery system itself; and the role of case manager does not include identification of alternative solutions. This is not an example of a population-oriented focus, which is directed toward promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health of the population. The counselor role is not population-oriented.
