Chapter 01: Health: A Community View
Nies: Community/Public Health Nursing, 8th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about health
care?
a. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care.
b. The media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
c. Our national health care costs keep increasing.
d. The new health care system offers free services to Americans.
ANS: C
The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs, which
cannot be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalating
health care dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to 18%
in 2018. Politicians and the media both influence Americans’ perceptions about health care;
however, they are not the primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new health care
system will change the health care access and availability but will not necessarily be offering
any free services to Americans.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
2. Why is it important for nurses to lobby with politicians for changes to the health care system?
a. Nurses, as central characters in several popular TV series, are currently very
visible in American media.
b. Nurses are primarily responsible for managing the various units in our health care
system.
c. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers.
d. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
ANS: C
Nurses constitute the largest segment of healthcare workers; therefore, they are instrumental
in creating a healthcare delivery system that will meet the health-oriented needs of the people.
As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the current health
care system and all the problems that result from people not seeking care until they are
desperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually
believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to
our current health care delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to
create a health care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several
current TV series and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals, physicians and other
health care providers are as well. Nurses are often managers, but managers often have other
backgrounds, such as business administration.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
3. What conclusion can be drawn from examining where nurses are currently being employed?
a. There is a trend toward consolidation of health care into large central medical
centers.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
b. There is an increased emphasis on health promotion and preventive care.
c. There is an obvious need to decrease health care costs by cutting positions.
d. Managed care organizations (MCOs) are employing nurses to improve customer
relations.
ANS: B
The decline in the percentage of nurses employed in hospitals and the subsequent increase in
nurses employed in community settings suggests a shift in focus from illness and institution-
based care to health promotion and preventive care. This shift will likely continue into the
future as alternative delivery systems, such as ambulatory, home care, and hospice employ
more nurses. MCOs are employing nurses in many capacities. Although hospitals are closing
and acute care is increasingly found in central medical centers, the same trend may be seen in
an increase in neighborhood-based practice centers. While positions are cut in most industries,
health care is recognized as an area where growth in employment is expected. However,
nurses are increasingly employed in community settings as opposed to hospitals. This change
reflects the move toward community-based care rather than hospital-based tertiary care. To
help decrease the continued rise in health care costs, the increased emphasis is on disease
prevention rather than high-cost treatment.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
4. Which ethical belief is the basis of public health nursing?
a. Emphasis should be on individual and corporation freedom in the marketplace.
b. Emphasis should be on individual autonomy and freedom of choice.
c. Emphasis should be on social justice and collective responsibility.
d. Emphasis should be on the effectiveness of technology in resolving problems.
ANS: C
The mission of public health is social justice, which entitles all people to basic necessities
such as adequate income and health protection and accepts collective burdens to make it
possible. An overinvestment in technology and seeking of cures within the market justice
system has stifled the evolution of a health system to protect and preserve the health of the
population. Although individual autonomy and freedom of choice are important, so is the
recognition of collective responsibility in ensuring social justice, which entitles all people to
basic necessities.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
5. What is the primary problem seen in Healthy People 2020’s emphasis on choosing healthy
lifestyle behaviors, such as daily exercise or healthy food choices?
a. Emphasis on other lifestyle choices, such as not smoking and minimal use of
alcohol or drugs, is also needed.
b. All of us must work together to make unhealthy behaviors socially unacceptable.
c. It costs more to make healthy choices, such as buying and eating fresh fruits and
vegetables as opposed to quick and cheap fast-food choices.
d. Public policy emphasizes personal responsibility but ignores social and
environmental changes needed for well-being.
ANS: D
