ANS:4
Explanation: 4. Population Health Nursing Is The Practice Of Promoting And Protecting The Health
Of Populations Using Knowledge From Nursing, Social, And Public Health Sciences. The Population Will

Community Settings. Community-Focused Care Is Bringing Nursing Knowledge And Expertise To The
Community, But It Does Not Have A Population Focus. Community-Driven Care Focuses On The Needs Of
The Community As A Whole And Emphasizes Community Participation In Determining Those Needs. It
Can Limit The Focus Of Practice To Health Needs Identified By The Population Group, And Could Thus
Exclude Pregnant Adolescents.
