t t t t t t t t t t t


a. Families and groups t t


b. Illness-oriented care t


c. Individuals within the family unit t t t t


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




ANS D t


In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather than on
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


lies. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community and the

oriented care of individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic health c
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


nd the focus of practice is on individual or
t t t t t t t t


family-centered illness care. t t




4. WHICH of the Following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th century?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t

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


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


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




ANS C t


There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and programs were prim

average life span from 47 in 1900 to 78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60% in just over a century

sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4) improving food and drug safety,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people are excited wh

5. A Nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community. WHICH of the Foll

, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


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


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


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


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




ANS C t


The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely separate fro
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


munity. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the community’s health
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


h of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to ensure that conditions exist in WHI
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


e basic assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


re on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making healthy choices is the directive for lengt
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


the government. t




7. WHICH of the Following actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nurse?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


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


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


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


ed health services t t


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




ANS D t


Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily with mem
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and engaging in promotin
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


vironment. The interventions of asking community leaders WHICH interventions should be chosen, assessin
t t t t t t t t t t t t


g on appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not demonstrate the engagemen
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


king decisions about what the community actually wants and needs.
t t t t t t t t t




8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
t t t t t t t t t t t


a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
t t t t t t t t t t t


b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
t t t t t t t t t t t


c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
t t t t t t t t t t t


d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
t t t t t t t t t t t




ANS B t


Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with comm
t t t t t t t t t t t t t


ut health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing specialists to be more
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


oratively with various groups in the community as well as professional colleagues in institutional settings to d

wever, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies is the most representative,
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


erns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad concerns of the community should be ad
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


r than recreation, individual concerns are not as important as aggregate priorities, and watching television (a o
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t


way form of communication) is less effective than interacting with others.
t t t t t t t t t t




9. WHICH of the Following best defines aggregate? t t t t t t


a. A large group of persons t t t t


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


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


d. Another name for demographic group t t t t




ANS C t


An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental characteristi

oup of persons, a collection of individuals and families, and another name for demographic group are not accu

10. WHICH question asked by a novice Nurse would be the most reflective of an understanding of the role of a pub

a. “WHICH groups are at the greatest risk for problems?” t t t t t t t t




b. “WHICH patients should I see first as I begin my day?” t t t t t t t t t t
