̦̣ students
̦̣ abouț̣ the similarities and differences between
public
̦̣ health and commu nity
̦̣ health, which of the following statements by a nursing
̦̣ student
̦̣
would̦̣ indicate knowledge of the similarities and differences between public ̦̣ health and
1. community̦̣ health?




“Community
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ is defined as
A) nursing
̦̣ care that is provided in a community
̦̣ setting, rather than an institutional
̦̣ setting.”

“Public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ is defined as nursing
̦̣ care that is provided in an institutional
̦̣
B) setting.”

“Public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ is focused
̦̣ on the
C)
health of individuals.”
̦̣
“Community̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ can shape the quality
̦̣ of community
̦̣ health services and
D) improve the health of the general public.”
̦̣

Ans: D
Feedback:
Operating within an environment of rapid change and increasingly complex challenges, this
nursing
̦̣ specialty holds the potential to shape the quality
̦̣ of community
̦̣ health services and
improve the health of the general
public.
̦̣




Which of the following statements would ̦̣ best
2. describe the difference between public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ and community
̦̣ health nursing?
̦̣

Public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ is focused ̦̣ on the private aspects of health, and community
̦̣ health
nursing
̦̣ is focused
̦̣ on the public
̦̣ aspects of
A)
health.

In our̦̣ textbook, the term community̦̣ health practice refers to a focuș̣ on specific, designated
communities
̦̣ and is a part of the
B)
larger public̦̣ health effort.

, Public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ and community
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ relate to the very same types of
C) services and perspectives.

Both public
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ and community
̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ are practiced exclusively
̦̣
D) within institutions.
̦̣

Ans: B
Feedback:
In this textbook, community ̦̣ health practice refers to a focuș̣ on specific, designated
communities.
̦̣ It is a part of the larger public ̦̣ health effort and recognizes the fundamental ̦̣
concepts and principles of public ̦̣ health as its birthright and fou ndation
̦̣ for practice. Public
̦̣
health nursing ̦̣ is focused ̦̣ on the public ̦̣ aspects of health. Public ̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ and
community ̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ have distinctive types of services and perspectives. Neither public ̦̣
health nursing ̦̣ nor community ̦̣ health nursing
̦̣ is practiced exclusively
̦̣ within
institutions.
̦̣
