• A. appetite
• B. satiety
• C. satiation

2. What is the term for mobilizing people to become aware of their own problems and to take action to solve them?

• A. Community Organizing
• B. Family Nursing Care Plan
• C. Nursing Intervention
• D. Nursing Process

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Community Organizing. This involves engaging and mobilizing individuals in a community or group to take action for the mutual benefit or to solve common problems. The options 'Family Nursing Care Plan', 'Nursing Intervention', and 'Nursing Process' are incorrect as these terms refer to specific nursing practices and methods, not the broader action of mobilizing and engaging a community to solve its own problems. Moreover, the provided rationale does not match the original question and correct answer. It instead describes the proactive and preventative nature of nursing care, which is unrelated to the concept of community organizing.

• A. Beneficence
• B. Disclosure

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term for the act of performing beneficial services rather than harmful ones is 'Beneficence'. Beneficence refers to actions that enhance the well-being of others. In the healthcare context, beneficence ensures that health services are advantageous and beneficial to patients. 'Disclosure' (choice B) is the act of revealing information, not directly related to whether actions are beneficial or harmful. 'Maleficence' (choice C) is the opposite of beneficence, involving actions that can cause damage or harm. 'Justice' (choice D) denotes fairness and equality, important in various contexts but not specifically related to performing beneficial services.
