The population health nurse is demonstrating behavior to be learned by a client and the family. In which focus and role is the nurse providing care?
1. Client-oriented and role model.
2. Delivery-oriented and educator.
3. Client-oriented and referral resource.
4. Population-oriented and collaborator.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The focus of nursing care in this situation is the client and the behavior is role modeling. Delivery-oriented nursing involves the operation or the health care delivery system, and role model is a better description of this behavior than educator. The focus of nursing care is the client but this is not a referral resource. Population-oriented care involves promotion, maintenance, and restoration of the population. The behavior that the nurse is demonstrating is not collaboration.
