a. Families and groups wl wl

In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rath
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ps, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
lation within it. Community-based Nurses deal primarily with illness-
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
oriented care of individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chron

community, and the focus of practice is on individual or wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl

, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
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.
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl

wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ANS C w l
The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely s
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
he larger community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
tus (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and d
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
otect the health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collect
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
nditions exist in WHICH people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
arities. The focus is on prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, ind
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
aking healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
7. WHICH of the Following actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nurse?
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determin
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
e needed health services
wl wl wl
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ANS D w l
Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
munity to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl w

8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ANS B w l
Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating wit
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
roups about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing s
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ssive in working collaboratively with various groups in the community as well as professional colle
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
s to deal with barriers to health. However, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of vario
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
ost representative, because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In p
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl

wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl

wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
9. WHICH of the Following best defines aggregate?
wl wl wl wl wl wl
a. A large group of persons wl wl wl wl
b. A collection of individuals and families
wl wl wl wl wl
c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
d. Another name for demographic group wl wl wl wl
ANS C w l
An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental ch
wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl wl
community can be defined in terms of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a sta
