pg. 2
,20-year-old female who was pregnant is the best example of the population that

of the advanced-practice public health nurse. The ANCC offers specialty
certification in advanced public health nursing; however, these criteria do not
describe the role of the public health nurse. The state nurse practice act outlines
nursing practice in the state, but it is not specific to the public health setting. The
Future of Public Health indicated public health functions were poorly focused and
the public health infrastructure was inadequate. It noted changes that should be
made in the future.

Development of coalitions and partnerships to provide care to populations
d. Improved surveillance and infrastructure as a result of fears about terrorism
In response to the Institute of Medicine report titled The Future of Public Health,
there has been an emphasis on population-based care and the development of
coalitions and partnerships to provide health care. Fears about terrorism and
possible biologic infections have led to improvements in surveillance. Primary care
is being increasingly referred to various managed care providers and is not a
priority of local health departments. Thus, most local health departments no longer
collect Medicaid fees. Emergency preparedness is federally mandated, but no
federal funds were forwarded to the states in order to achieve preparedness.
