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




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




a. Bioterrorism and global health threats m m m m




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




c. The need for increased health center and acute care
m m m m m m m m




d. Chronic disease and disability management m m m m




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A m




REASONING:->>>There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and m m m m m m m m m m m




globally induced infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert primary care funds
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




and resources from other primary care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




not related to public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




describes the basis for this concern?
m m m m m m




a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs. m m m m m m m




b. This threat could causeNthUeRhSeaIlthNcGaTreBs.ysCteOmMto collapse.

c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety primary care programs.
m m m m m m m m m m m




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




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C m




REASONING:->>>Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for m m m m m m m m m m




public safety primary care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible those
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




community-based programs would be eliminated, the primary care system could experience
m m m m m m m m m m m




changes, and that there would be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




remaining options would happen because of the diversion of funds.

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




Affordable Care Act?
m m m




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




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




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




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




ACCURATE ANSWER:-B
m m




REASONING:->>>One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care m m m m m m m m




Act might be that the majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




health agencies will not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




who need them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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

,4. The public health nursing attendant (PHN) must participate in the essential services
m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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




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




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




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




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C m




REASONING:->>>The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a m m m m m m m m m




community assessment is only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




diagnose or solve “world” problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




participate with local regulators to protect communities and empower people to address
m m m m m m m m m m m m




health issues.

5. A public health department is using the mission of public health as described by the Institute of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Medicine when planning its health programming. Which of the following activities will most
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




likely be implemented?
m m m




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




b. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person at the health department m m m m m m m m m m m




c. Keeping track of alternative therapies in use in the United States
m m m m m m m m m m




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




Atlanta m




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A m




REASONING:->>>The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to m m m m m m m m m m




generate organized community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote
m m m m m m m m m m m




health.” Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




health of the population.
m m m m




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




prevention.

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




are available in the community. Which of the following core public health functions is being
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




implemented?
m




a. Policy development m




b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific knowledge-based care m m




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C m




REASONING:->>>Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to m m m m m m m m m




ensure certain activities have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




plans. Policy development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




public policy. Assessment includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and
m m m m m m m m m m




disseminating information on both the health status and the health-related aspects of a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




community or a specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge but is not a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




core function.
