chapter 01: health: a community view
nies: community/public health nursing, 8th edition
multiple choice
1. which best describes the primary reason that americans are concerned about
health care?
a. politicians are discussing how to improve health care.
b. the media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
c. our national health care costs keep increasing.
d. the new health care system offers free services to americans.
ANS>>c
the primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs,
which cannot be sustained. the costs of caring for the sick accounted for the
majority of escalating health care dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross
domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015. politicians and the media both
influence americans’ perceptions about health care; however, they are not the
primary reason why americans are concerned. the new health care system will
change the health care access and availability, but will not necessarily be offering
any free services to americans.
dif: cognitive level: understand (comprehension)
2. a nurse has begun to lobby with politicians for changes to the health care
system. why is this involvement important?
