families where they live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chr

provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care. These Nurses may be ge

ANS D
In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and po
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore
s s ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s s s ss



the community and the population within it. Community-based Nurses deal primarily with
ss s s ss ss ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



individuals and families across the life
s s span. The aim is to manage acute and chron
s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



the community, and the focus of practice is on individual or
s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s



family-centered illness care. ss ss

b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures ss ss s s ss ss

, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
ss s s s s ss s s s s s s ss s s



b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




ANS C
The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



from the health of the larger community. Public health practice focuses on the commu
s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



the effect of the community‘s health status (resources) on the health of individuals, fam
s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the health of the comm
s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s ss s s ss s s s s s s s s s s



Public health can be described as what society collectively does to ensure that conditi
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s



people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the moralit
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s



The focus is on prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Addition
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



responsibility for making healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



government.

7. WHICH of the Following actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nur
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
ss s s ss s s s s ss s s



b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions ss s s s s s s s s s s s s



c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



determine needed health services
ss s s s s s s



d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




ANS D
Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she w
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



members of the community to carry out core public health functions, including assessm
s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



as a whole and engaging in promoting health and improving the environment. The int

when making decisions about what the community actually wants and needs.

8. WHICH public ss s s health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s



a. The Nurse ss s s who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



b. The Nurse ss s s who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



c. The Nurse ss s s who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



d. The Nurse ss s s who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s




ANS B
Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collab
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



residents or groups about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the nee
s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



nursing specialists to be more aggressive in working collaboratively with various groups
s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



well as professional colleagues in institutional settings to deal with barriers to health.

who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies is the most representa

health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad conce
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s s s



should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as imp

priorities, and watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective

c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics

ANS C
An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or

characteristics. Members of a community can be defined in terms
