within institutions. f


Ans: B
Feedback:
In this textbook, community health practice
f f f f f


refers to a focus on specific, designated
f f f f f f f


communities. It is a part of the larger public
f f f f f f f f f


health effort and recognizes the fundamental
f f f f f f


concepts and principles of public health as its
f f f f f f f f


birthright and foundation for practice. Public
f f f f f f


health nursing is focused on the public aspects
f f f f f f f f


of health. Public health nursing and
f f f f f f


fcommunity health nursing have distinctive f f f f


types of services and perspectives. Neither
f f f f f f


public health nursing nor community health
f f f f f f


nursing is practiced exclusively within
f f f f f


institutions.

, The broad definition of a community is a
f f f f f f f


collection of people who share some

fimportant features of their lives. Community f f f f f


members may not live in the same geographic
f f f f f f f f


location as in a common-interest community
f f f f f f


for a community of solution. A population is
f f f f f f f


made up of people who do not necessarily
f f f f f f f f


interact with one another and do not
f f f f f f f


necessarily share a sense of belonging to that
f f f f f f f f


group.



A group of students are reviewing material for

An aggregate refers to a mass of grouping of

distinct individuals who are considered as a

whole and who are loosely associated with

fone another. Communities and populations
f f f f


fare types of aggregates. A population is made
f f f f f f f


up of people who do not necessarily interact
f f f f f f f f


with one another and do not necessarily share
f f f f f f f f


a sense of belonging to the group. A
f f f f f f f f


community is a collection of people who
f f f f f f f


chose to interact with one another because of
f f f f f f f f


common interests, characteristics, or goals,
f f f f f


which form the basis for a sense of unity or
f f f f f f f f f f


belonging.
