b. The nurse must first decide on and define the aggregate to receive care.
c. The nurse must determine how best to ensure that each participant receives an equal number of services.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
The nurse decides which aggregate to focus on and then carefully defines that aggregate.
Whether caring for an individual, a family, or an aggregate, the nurse must know the demographics of the client and choose which health need has first priority. In caring for aggregates, each participant does not receive an equal number of services, but only those services that each participant needs.
