B) Nurses maximize their scope of practice in noninstitutional settings.
C) Community settings allow for the greatest number and variety of treatment options.
D) The nurse becomes the key member of the healthcare team in a community setting.
Ans: A
A central premise of community healthcare is the fact that patients/clients are in
charge. The move toward community care is not motivated by an increased role for nurses.
There are a greater number of treatment options in hospitals than in the community, but this fact
does not negate the importance of community care.
