Question

1. A community nurse has been asked to bridge the gap and act as a resource between patrons from a local restaurant who had a sudden outbreak of food poisoning and the city health department. This nurse will be acting as a:
   1. Case finder
   2. Community mobilizer
   3. Liaison
   4. Change agent

Answer 1

Option (C) is the correct option.

The nurse will be acting as a Liaison. Liaison act as a communicator or mediator between a health care organization and the clients. Here the nurse act as a resource person as well as communicator between the patrons of restaurant and city health department. So the role of nurse is of a liaison.

All the other options such as Case finder, Community mobilizer, Change agent are incorrect as their role are not supposed to act as a resource person or communicator between the clients and health care department as the nurse does in the question.
