f f f f f f f f f f
ANS C f
The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely separa

larger community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the com

(resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to e
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
WHICH people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health

needed health services
f f f
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment f f f f f f f f f f
ANS D f
Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily with m
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and engaging
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
improving the environment. The interventions of asking community leaders WHICH interventions shoul

f f f f f f f f f f f

working collaboratively with various groups in the community as well as professional colleagues in insti
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
barriers to health. However, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies i
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad conc
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as important as agg
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective than interacting with others.

9. WHICH of the Following best defines aggregate? f f f f f f
a. A large group of persons f f f f
b. A collection of individuals and families
f f f f f
c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
f f f f f f f f f
d. Another name for demographic group f f f f
ANS C f
An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental characte
