ANS: C
The public health nurse monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is only one way that health status is monitored. The public health nurse would not diagnose or solve “world” problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the public health care nurse would participate with local regulators to protect communities and empower people to address health issues.
