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


American people in the twenty-first century?
v v v v v v


a. Bioterrorism and global health threats v v v v


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


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


d. Chronic disease and disability management v v v v




CORRECT ANSWER: A v v



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


infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


from other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
v v v v v v v v




CORRECT ANSWER: C v v



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


programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs would
v v v v v v v v v v v v


be eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there woul be an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would happen becauseof

3. Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of the
v v v v v v v v v v


Affordable Care Act?
v v v


a. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status. v v v v v v v v


b. Most of the population will be covered by health insurance.

c. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
v v v v v v v v v v v


d. The prevalence of obesity will decrease.
v v v v v



ANS: B
v v

, One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act might be that the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies will not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those who need them can
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans to pay closer
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


attention to their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

4. The public health NURSE (PHN) must participate in the essential services of public
v v v v v v v v v v v v


vhealth. What is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
v v v v v v v v v v v


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


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


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


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



vCORRECTANSWER:C v v



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


vone way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world”
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


vproblems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local
v v v v v v v v v v v v


vregulators to protect communities and empower people to address health issues.

most likely be implemented? v v v


a. Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance in the United States

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
v v v v v v v v v v


d. Keeping snake antivenom at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in
v v v v v v v v v v v


Atlanta v




CORRECT ANSWER: A v v



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


community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avia
v v v v v v v v v v v v


flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


disease prevention.

6. A public health department makes sure that the essential community-oriented health
v v v v v v v v v v


vservices are available in the community. Which of the following core public health functions is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


vbeing implemented? v


a. Policy development v

, b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific knowledge-based care v v




CORRECTANSWER:C
v v v



Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to ensure certain activities
v v v v v v v v v v v v


have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and plans. Policy
v v v v v v v v v v v v


development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in public policy
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Assessment includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and disseminating
v v v v v v v v v


information on both the health status and the health-related aspects of a community or a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge but is not a core function

8. Which of the following statements about public health is accurate?
v v v v v v v v v


a. Prevention of early deaths can be more effectively accomplished by medical
v v v v v v v v v v


treatment than by public health approaches.
v v v v v v


b. Expenditures and resources for public health have increased in recent years. v v v v v v v v v v


c. Historically, gains in the health of populations have been related largely to changes in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v


safety, sanitation, and food safety.
v v v v v


d. Reform of the medical insurance system is the single change needed to improve
v v v v v v v v v v v v


the healthofAmericans.
v v v v




CORRECT ANSWER: C v v



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


improvements in sanitation, clean water supplies, making workplaces safer, improving food
v v v v v v v v v v v


and drug safety, immunizing children, and improving nutrition, hygiene,
v v v v v v v v v


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


public health measures. Funding for public health in recent years has been on a gradual
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


decline. Although reform of the medical insurance system may help improve the health of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Americans, there are many other factors that will need to be addressed.
