MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. WHICH statement best describes community-based nursing?
a. A practice in WHICH care is provided for individuals and families.
b. Providing care with a focus on the group’s needs.
c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs.
d. A value system in WHICH all clients receive optimal care.
CORRECT ANSWER A
By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in WHICH care is provided
for “sick” individuals and families where they live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on
acute and chronic care and the provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care.
These Nurses may be generalists or specialists in maternal–infant, pediatric, adult, or
psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic
care to individuals and families, rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
2. WHICH statement best describes the goal of community-oriented nursing?
a. Providing care to individuals and families
b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions
c. Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
d. To preserve, protect, promote, or maintain health and prevent disease
CORRECT ANSWER D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining
health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All Nurses may focus on individuals
and families, give direct care to ill persons within their family setting, and help manage acute or
chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to community-oriented nursing.
3. WHICH of the Following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
a. Families and groups
b. Illness-oriented care
c. Individuals within the family unit
d. Health care of communities and populations
CORRECT ANSWER D
In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations
rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve,
promote, restore, and protect health for the community and the population within it.
Community-based Nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and families

across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic health conditions in the community,
and the focus of practice is on individual or
family-centered illness care.
4. WHICH of the Following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy
during the 20th century?
a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research
b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures
c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs
d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections
CORRECT ANSWER C
There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and
programs were primarily responsible for increasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to
78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60% in just over a century plus through
improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4)
improving food and drug safety,
(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people
are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a disease or when a new way to trans
plant organsis perfected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the health of
populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
5. A Nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the
community. WHICH of the Following interventions would most likely be implemented by the
Nurse?
a. Provide free health care to all citizens
b. To increase the number of individuals with access to effective health care benefits
c. Lower the cost of health care to the American population
d. To lessen the governmental burden of providing health care to Americans
CORRECT ANSWER B
The central feature in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 are the
mechanisms to increase the number of people with health insurance. The care provided is not
necessarily free. While the cost of health care and the burden it places on the American
government are serious concerns, they are not the primary focus of ACA.
6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health
efforts?
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
