11. In which scenario is the public health nurse (PHN) most comprehensively practising
interprofessional collaboration?
a. The PHN meets with several groups about community recreation issues.
b. The PHN spends the day attending meetings at various health agencies.
c. The PHN talks to several people about their particular health concerns.
d. The PHN watches television, including a telecast of a city council meeting on the
local cable station.
ANS: B
Any of these might represent a public health nurse (PHN) communicating, cooperating, or
collaborating with community residents or groups about health concerns. However, the PHN
who spends the day attending meetings at various health agencies is most comprehensively
fulfilling requirements effectively, since health is broader than recreation, individual concerns
are not as important as aggregate priorities, and watching television is only one-way
communication.

REF: Collaborating in Interprofessional Teams OBJ: 1.5
TOP: Safe and Effective Care Environment
12. A community health nurse (CHN) often has to make resource allocation decisions. In such
cases, which approach will most help the CHN to arrive at the decision?
a. Choosing a moral or ethical principle
b. Choosing the cheapest, most economical approach
c. Choosing the most rational outcome
d. Choosing the needs of the aggregate, rather than the needs of a few individuals
ANS: D
Although all of the answers represent components of the CHN’s decision-making process, the
predominant needs of the population outweigh the expressed needs of one person or a few
people.

REF: Social Justice OBJ: 1.3

13. Which situation most closely represents the focus of public health nursing?
a. Assessing the services and effectiveness of the school health clinic
b. Caring for patients after their outpatient surgeries
c. Giving care to schoolchildren at the school clinic and to the children’s families
d. Treating pediatric patients at an outpatient clinic
ANS: A
A public health or population-focused approach would consider the entire group of children
receiving care, to see if services are effective in achieving the goal of improving the health of
the school population.

11. In which scenario is the public health nurse (PHN) most comprehensively practising
interprofessional collaboration?
a. The PHN meets with several groups about community recreation issues.
b. The PHN spends the day attending meetings at various health agencies.
c. The PHN talks to several people about their particular health concerns.
d. The PHN watches television, including a telecast of a city council meeting on the
local cable station.
ANS: B
Any of these might represent a public health nurse (PHN) communicating, cooperating, or
collaborating with community residents or groups about health concerns. However, the PHN
who spends the day attending meetings at various health agencies is most comprehensively
fulfilling requirements effectively, since health is broader than recreation, individual concerns
are not as important as aggregate priorities, and watching television is only one-way
communication.

12. A community health nurse (CHN) often has to make resource allocation decisions. In such
cases, which approach will most help the CHN to arrive at the decision?
a. Choosing a moral or ethical principle
b. Choosing the cheapest, most economical approach
c. Choosing the most rational outcome
d. Choosing the needs of the aggregate, rather than the needs of a few individuals
ANS: D
Although all of the answers represent components of the CHN’s decision-making process, the
predominant needs of the population outweigh the expressed needs of one person or a few
people.

13. Which situation most closely represents the focus of public health nursing?
a. Assessing the services and effectiveness of the school health clinic
b. Caring for patients after their outpatient surgeries
c. Giving care to schoolchildren at the school clinic and to the children’s families
d. Treating pediatric patients at an outpatient clinic
ANS: A
A public health or population-focused approach would consider the entire group of children
receiving care, to see if services are effective in achieving the goal of improving the health of
the school population.
