1. Which of the following best describes community-based nursing?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. A practice in which care is provided for individuals and families
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. Providing care with a focus on the group’s needs n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

d. A value system in which all hospital clients receive optimal care
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-A n1



Reasoning:->>>By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



which care is provided for ―sick‖ individuals and families where they live, work, and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provision of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care. These nursing attendants may be
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



generalists or specialists in maternal–infant, pediatric, adult, or psychiatric mental health
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to individuals and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



families, rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. Focusing on the provision of care to individuals and families n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

d. Having the goal of health promotion and disease prevention
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-D n1



Reasoning:->>>By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



protecting, or maintaining health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



nursing attendants may focus on individuals and families, give direct care to sick persons
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



within their family setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



are not specific to community-oriented nursing.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




3. Which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. Families and groups n1 n1



b. Sickness-oriented care n1



c. Individuals within the family unit n1 n1 n1 n1



d. Health care of communities and populations n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-D n1



Reasoning:->>>In public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



communities and populations rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community
n1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



and the population within it. Community-based nursing attendants deal primarily with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



sickness- oriented care of individuals and families acorss the life span. The aim is to
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



amanage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



on individual or family-centered sickness care.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1

,4. Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



the 20th century?
n1 n1 n1



a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-C n1



Reasoning:->>>Improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



sanitation, and other population-based prevention programs led to the increase in life
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



expectancy from less than 50 years in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. Although
n1 n1 n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



people are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a disease or when a new way
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




5. A nursing attendant is developing a plan to reduce the number of premature deaths in the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



community. Which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented by
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



the nursing attendant?
n1 n1 n1



a. Increase the community’s knowledge about clinic care.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. Promote healthy lifestyle behavior choices among the community members.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. Encourage employers to have wellness centers at each industrial site.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment for community
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



members. n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-B n1



Reasoning:->>>Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



the way people eat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment. Increasing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



knowledge of clinic care, encouraging on-site wellness centers, and ensuring timely
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



treatment of medical
n1 n1 n1




conditions do not address theNfUocRusSoIfNimGpTroBv.inCg Oo vMerall health through

strategies. This is the major method that is suggested to reduce the incidence of premature
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



death.
n1




6. Which of the following is a basic assumption of public health efforts?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-C n1



Reasoning:->>>Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



of the community’s health status (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and
n1 n1 n 1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the health of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



to ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



public health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



sickness not on spending more on sickness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



making healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



government.
n1




7. Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nursing
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



attendant?
n1

, a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




needed health services n1 n1



d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-D n1



Reasoning:->>>Although the public health nursing attendant might engage in any of the n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



tasks listed, he or she works primarily with members of the community to carry out core
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and engaging in
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



promoting health and improving the environment. The interventions of asking community
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



leaders which interventions should be chosen, asessing the community and deciding on
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not demonstrate
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



the engagement of the community when making decisions about what the community
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



actually wants and needs.
n1 n1 n1 n1




8. Which of the following public health nursing attendants most clearly fulfills the
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



responsibilities of this role?
n1 n1 n1 n1



a. The nursing attendant who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. The nursing attendant who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. The nursing attendant who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. The nursing attendant who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-B n1



Reasoning:->>>Any of these descriptions might represent a nursing attendant n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with community residents or groups about
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



health concerns. However, the nursing attendant who spent the day attending meetings of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



various health agencies is the most representative, because in public health, concerns are
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad concerns of the community
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



important as aggregate priorities, and watching television (a one-way form of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



communication) is less effective than interacting with others.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




9. Which of the following best defines aggregate?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. A large group of persons
n1 n1 n1 n1



b. A collection of individuals and families
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. Another name for demographic group n1 n1 n1 n1




PRECISE CHOICE:-C n1



Reasoning:->>>An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



personal or environmental characteristics. Members of a community can be defined in
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



terms of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state) or a special
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



interest (e.g., children attending a particular school). These members make up a
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



population. The term population may be used interchangeably with the term aggregate. A
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



large group of persons, a collection of individuals and families, and another name for
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



demograhpic group are not accurate definitions of the term aggregate.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




10. A registered nursing attendant was just employed as a public health nursing attendant.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Which question would be the most relevant for the nursing attendant to ask?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



a. ―Which groups are at the greatest risk for problems?‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



b. ―Which victims should I see first as I begin my day?‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



c. ―With which physicians will I be most closely collaborating?‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



d. ―With which nursing assistants will I partner the most?‖
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
