Answer 1

The correct option is D)

The statement that accurately describes a microscopic approach to the delineation of community health nursing problems is it often emphasizes a behavioural response to an individual's illness or lifestyle pattern .

Theories that address health from a microscopic, or individual, rather than a macroscopic, or global/social, perspective have limited applicability to community/public health nursing. Such perspectives are inadequate because they do not address social, political, and environmental factors that are central to an understanding of communities.
