MULTIPLE CHOICE g




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


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


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


c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs
g g g g g g g g


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




ANS: A
By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in which care
g g g g g g g g g g


is provided for ―sick‖ individuals and families where they live, work, and attend
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


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


comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care. These nurses may be generalists
g g g g g g g g g g


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


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


and families, rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
g g g g g g g g g g




2. Which of the following best describes community-oriented nursing?
g g g g g g g


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


b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions g g g g g g g


c. Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
g g g g g g g g g


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




ANS: D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or
g g g g g g g g g g


maintaining health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All nurses
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


may focus on individuals and families, give direct care to ill persons within their
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


family setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are
g g g g g g g g g g g g


not specific to community-oriented nursing.
g g g g g




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


a. Families and groups g g


b. Illness-oriented care g


c. Individuals within the family unit g g g g


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




ANS: g g D
In public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of communities
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


and populations rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the
g g g g g g g g g g g


community and the population within it. Community-based nurses deal primarily
g g g g g g g g g g


with illness-oriented care of individuals and families acorss the life span. The aim
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


is to amanage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


focus of practice is on individual or family-centered illness care.
g g g g g g g g g g

, 4. Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life
g g g g g g g g g g g


gexpectancy during the 20th century? g g g g


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


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


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


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




ANS: g g C
Improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, sanitation, g g g g g g g g


gand other population-based prevention programs led to the increase in life
g g g g g g g g g g


gexpectancy from less than 50 years in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gAlthough people are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a disease
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gor when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gabout the significant gains in the health of populations that have come largely
g g g g g g g g g g g g


gfrom public health accomplishments.
g g g




5. A nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gcommunity. Which of the following interventions would most likely be g g g g g g g g g


g implemented by the nurse? g g g


a. Increase the community’s knowledge about hospice care. g g g g g g


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


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


d. Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment
g g g g g g g


for community members.
g g g




ANS: g g B
Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing the
g g g g g g g g g g


gway people eat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment.
g g g g g g g g g g g


gIncreasing knowledge of hospice care, encouraging on-site wellness centers, and
g g g g g g g g g


gensuring timely treatment of medical conditions do not address the focus of
g g g g g g g g g g g


gimproving overall health through health promotion strategies. This is the major
g g g g g g g g g g


gmethod that is suggested to decrease the incidence of premature death.
g g g g g g g g g g




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


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


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


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


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




ANS: g g C
Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gthe community’s health status (resources) on the health of individuals,
g g g g g g g g g


gfamilies, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability and
g g g g g g g g g g g


gpromote and protect the health of the community as a whole. Public health can
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gbe described as what society collectively does to ensure that conditions exist in
g g g g g g g g g g g g


gwhich people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gthe morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention of illness not on
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


gspending more on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making
g g g g g g g g g


ghealthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


ggovernment.

7. Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nurse?
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
g g g g g g g


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


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