MULTIPLE CHOICE l7




1. Which of the following best describes community-based nursing?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. A practice in which care is provided for individuals and families
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. Providing care with a focus on the group’s needs l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. A value system in which all hospital clients receive optimal care
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-A l7



Reasoning:->>>By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



which care is provided for ―sick‖ individuals and families where they live, work, and attend
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provision of comprehensive,
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



coordinated, and continuous care. These nursing attendants may be generalists or specialists
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



in maternal–infant, pediatric, adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to individuals and families, rather than focusing
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



on groups, aggregates, or systems.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




2. Which of the following best describes community-oriented nursing?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. Focusing on the provision of care to individuals and families l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7

l7 l7
l7 l7



d. Having the goal of health promotion and disease prevention l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-D l7



Reasoning:->>>By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



protecting, or maintaining health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



nursing attendants may focus on individuals and families, give direct care to sick persons
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



within their family setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



are not specific to community-oriented nursing.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




3. Which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. Families and groups l7 l7



b. Sickness-oriented care l7



c. Individuals within the family unit l7 l7 l7 l7



d. Health care of communities and populations l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-D l7



Reasoning:->>>In public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



communities and populations rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community and
l7 l7 l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



the population within it. Community-based nursing attendants deal primarily with sickness-
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



oriented care of individuals and families acorss the life span. The aim is to amanage acute and
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is on individual or
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



family-centered sickness care.
l7 l7 l7

,4. Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



the 20th century?
l7 l7 l7



a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-C l7



Reasoning:->>>Improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



sanitation, and other population-based prevention programs led to the increase in life
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



expectancy from less than 50 years in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. Although people
l7 l7 l7 l7 l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a disease or when a new way to
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the health
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




5. A nursing attendant is developing a plan to reduce the number of premature deaths in the
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



community. Which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented by
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



the nursing attendant?
l7 l7 l7



a. Increase the community’s knowledge about clinic care. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. Promote healthy lifestyle behavior choices among the community members. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. Encourage employers to have wellness centers at each industrial site. l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment for community
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



members. l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-B l7



Reasoning:->>>Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



the way people eat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment. Increasing
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



knowledge of clinic care, encouraging on-site wellness centers, and ensuring timely
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



treatment of medical
l7 l7 l7




conditions do not address theNfUocRusSoIfNimGpTroBv.inCg Oo vMerall health through
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



health promotion
l7 l7



strategies. This is the major method that is suggested to reduce the incidence of premature
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



death.

6. Which of the following is a basic assumption of public health efforts?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-C l7



Reasoning:->>>Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



the community’s health status (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups.
l7 l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



The goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the health of the
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention of sickness
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



not on spending more on sickness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




7. Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nursing
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



attendant?
l7

, a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




needed health services l7 l7



d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-D l7



Reasoning:->>>Although the public health nursing attendant might engage in any of the l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



tasks listed, he or she works primarily with members of the community to carry out core
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and engaging in
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



promoting health and improving the environment. The interventions of asking community
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



leaders which interventions should be chosen, asessing the community and deciding on
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not demonstrate the
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



engagement of the community when making decisions about what the community actually
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



wants and needs.
l7 l7 l7




8. Which of the following public health nursing attendants most clearly fulfills the
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



responsibilities of this role?
l7 l7 l7 l7



a. The nursing attendant who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. The nursing attendant who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. The nursing attendant who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. The nursing attendant who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-B l7



Reasoning:->>>Any of these descriptions might represent a nursing attendant l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with community residents or groups about
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



health concerns. However, the nursing attendant who spent the day attending meetings of
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



various health agencies is the most representative, because in public health, concerns are
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad concerns of the community
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



important as aggregate priorities, and watching television (a one-way form of
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



communication) is less effective than interacting with others.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




9. Which of the following best defines aggregate?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. A large group of persons
l7 l7 l7 l7



b. A collection of individuals and families
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. Another name for demographic group l7 l7 l7 l7




PRECISE CHOICE:-C l7



Reasoning:->>>An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



personal or environmental characteristics. Members of a community can be defined in terms
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state) or a special interest (e.g.,
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



children attending a particular school). These members make up a population. The term
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



population may be used interchangeably with the term aggregate. A large group of persons, a
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



collection of individuals and families, and another name for demograhpic group are not
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



accurate definitions of the term aggregate.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




10. A registered nursing attendant was just employed as a public health nursing attendant.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



Which question would be the most relevant for the nursing attendant to ask?
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



a. ―Which groups are at the greatest risk for problems?‖ l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



b. ―Which victims should I see first as I begin my day?‖ l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



c. ―With which physicians will I be most closely collaborating?‖
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7



d. ―With which nursing assistants will I partner the most?‖
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7
