1⃣
Reference: Ch. 1 — Community and Public Health
Question Stem: A public health nurse (PHN) is designing a
community-wide screening program for hypertension in a
neighborhood with limited clinic access. Which initial action
best reflects a community/public health approach?
A. Schedule weekly screenings at the nearest hospital
outpatient clinic.
B. Conduct a rapid community assessment to identify barriers,
,resources, and high-risk groups.
C. Mail educational brochures about hypertension to all
households in the county.
D. Hire additional nurses to provide individual home visits for
blood pressure checks.
Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct answer rationale: Conducting a rapid community
assessment aligns with population-focused practice by
identifying local barriers, available resources, and high-risk
subgroups to design accessible, equitable screening
locations and strategies. (Ch.1: Community and Public
Health).
• A incorrect: Scheduling only at a hospital outpatient clinic
ignores access barriers for a neighborhood with limited
access and is not population-focused.
• C incorrect: Mass mailing is a broad educational strategy
but fails to assess local needs, barriers, and where high-risk
populations are concentrated.
• D incorrect: Home visits may be effective for some
individuals but are resource-intensive and not the best first
step when community-level planning is required.
Teaching Point: Community assessment identifies needs and
guides equitable, targeted interventions.

2⃣
Reference: Ch. 1 — The Concept of Community
Question Stem: During a community meeting, residents
describe shared concerns about a nearby industrial plant,
common cultural festivals, and frequent social support
networks. Which definition best describes this community?
A. Community as a set of healthcare services.
B. Community as people, place, and function.
C. Community as a political jurisdiction only.
D. Community as a random aggregation of individuals.
Correct Answer: B
Rationales:
• Correct answer rationale: The textbook describes
community as comprising people (shared interests), place
(geographic location), and function (shared social systems
and activities) — matching residents’ description.
• A incorrect: Defining community as services ignores social
and geographic elements central to community definition.
, • C incorrect: Political boundaries are sometimes part of a
community, but not the complete definition; community
includes social and functional elements.
• D incorrect: A random aggregation lacks the shared
interactions, values, and place that characterize a
community.
Teaching Point: A community includes people, place, and
shared function or purpose.
