A. BIOTERRORISM AND GLOBAL HEALTH THREATS
B. DELIVERY OF INDIVIDUAL CARE AND HYGIENE
C. THE NEED FOR INCREASED HOSPITAL AND ACUTE CARE
D. CHRONIC DISEASE AND DISABILITY MANAGEMENT
ANS:A
THERE ARE NEW CONCERNS, AND OF THE MOST SERIOUS ARE BIOTERRORISM AND GLOBALLY INDUCED
INFECTIONS, SUCH AS THE AVIAN FLU. THESE THREATS WILL DIVERT HEALTH CARE FUNDS AND
RESOURCES FROM OTHER HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS TO BE SPENT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. THE OTHERS ARE
NOT RELATED TO PUBLIC HEALTH OR ARE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR MANY YEARS.

A. BIOTERRORISM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DISSOLVE COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS.
B. THIS THREAT COULD CAUSE THE HEAITH CARE SYSTEM TO COLLAPSE.

D. FEAR OF BIOTERRORISM WILL INCREASE THE NEED FOR SHELTERS.

BIOTERRORISM MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS. BECAUSE FUNDS ARE DIVERTED IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COMMUNITY-BASED
PROGRAMS WOULD BE ELIMINATED, THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM COULD EXPERIENCE CHANGES, AND
THAT THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN THE NEED FOR SHELTER. HOWEVER, ALL THE REMAINING
OPTIONS WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSION OF FUNDS.

B. MOST OF THE POPULATION WILL BE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE.
C. PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WILL NEED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF NURSING POSITIONS.
D. THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY WILL DECREASE.
ANS:B
ONE CONSEQUENCE OF SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT MIGHT BE THAT
THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE AND PUBLIC HEALTH
AGENCIES WILL NOT NEED TO PROVIDE DIRECT CLINICAL SERVICES IN ORDER TO ASSURE THAT THOSE
WHO NEED THEM CAN RECEIVE THEM. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WILL NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE
AMERICANS TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO THEIR HEALTH STATUS OR DECREASE THE PREVALENCE OF
OBESITY.

B. DIAGNOSING AND INVESTIGATING HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD
C. INFORMING, EDUCATING, AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES
D. WORKING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REGULATE HEALTH AND ENSURE SAFETY
ANS:C
THE PHN MONITORS HEALTH STATUS IN SEVERAL WAYS, COMPLETING A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT IS
ONLY ONE WAY THAT HEALTH STATUS IS MONITORED. THE PHN WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR SOLVE
“WORLD” PROBLEMS, OR WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. RATHER, THE PHN WOULD PARTICIPATE WITH
LOCAL REGULATORS TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES AND EMPOWER PEOPLE TO ADDRESS HEALTH ISSUES.

B. PROVIDING A FLU SHOT FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
C. KEEPING TRACK OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES IN USE IN THE UNITED STATES
D. KEEPING SNAKE ANTIVENOM AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION IN
ATLANTA
ANS:A
THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE’S STATED MISSION ON PUBLIC HEALTH IS “TO GENERATE ORGANIZED
COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE TO PREVENT DISEASE AND PROMOTE HEALTH.” TRACKING
AVIAN FLU OUTBREAKS AND DOING SURVEILLANCE APPLIES THIS CONCEPT AT A POPULATION LEVEL.
PROVIDING A FLU SHOT FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON ONLY ADDRESSES INDIVIDUAL CARE. KEEPING TRACK
OF THE USE OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT DISEASE OR PROMOTE HEALTH
OF THE POPULATION.
KEEPING SNAKE ANTIVENOM IS AIMED AT DISEASE CARE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL, NOT HEALTH
PROMOTION OR DISEASE PREVENTION.
