ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
The nursing service adopted the philosophy of meeting health needs of aggregates including social, economic, and environmental determinants of health. This aggregate approach empowered people of the community. A later director summarized their role as “one of helping people to help themselves.” Because they were empowering others, the other statements do not fit this philosophy.
