1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of the Am
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



erican people in the twenty-first century?
ap ap ap ap ap



a. Bioterrorism and global health threats ap ap ap ap



b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene ap ap ap ap ap



c. The need for increased hospital and acute care
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. Chronic disease and disability management ap ap ap ap




CORRECT ANSWER: A ap ap




There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced infecti
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ons, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources from other
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to public health or
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



are concerns that have been present for many years.

CORRECT ANSWER: C ap ap




Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health care pr
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ograms. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



based programs would be eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



hat there woul be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would

ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



alth. What is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



c. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety C ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ORRECTANSWER:C a

The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is only o
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ne way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world” problems,
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local regulators to protect
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



communities and empower people to address health issues. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

CORRECT ANSWER: A ap ap




The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized commun
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ity and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avia flu outbrea
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu shot for an e
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



lderly person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



does nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population. Keeping snake antiveno
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



m is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or diseaseprevention.

CORRECT ANSWER: C ap ap




Fielding and Tilson have asserted that most of the increase in life span has been made through i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



mprovements in sanitation, clean water supplies, making workplaces safer, improving food an ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d drug safety, immunizing children, and improving nutrition, hygiene,
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



and housing. Medical treatment has not made as significant of an impact on the life span as publi
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



c health measures. Funding for public health in recent years has been on a gradual decline. Alt
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



hough reform of the medical insurance system may help improve the health of Americans, the
