1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


the American people in the twenty-first century?
li li li li li li li


a. Bioterrorism and global health threats li li li li


b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene li li li li li


c. The need for increased health center and acute care
li li li li li li li li


d. Chronic disease and disability management li li li li




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A li


REASONING:->>>There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and li li li li li li li li li li li


globally induced infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert primary care
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


funds and resources from other primary care programs to be spent for public safety. The
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


others are not related to public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


describes the basis for this concern?
li li li li li li


a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs. li li li li li li li



b. This threat could causeNthUeRhSeaIlthNcGaTreBs.ysCteOmMto collapse.
li li li li


c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety primary care programs.
li li li li li li li li li li li


d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
li li li li li li li li




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C li


REASONING:->>>Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for li li li li li li li li li li


public safety primary care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible those
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


community-based programs would be eliminated, the primary care system could experience
li li li li li li li li li li li


changes, and that there would be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


remaining options would happen because of the diversion of funds.

3. Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of the
li li li li li li li li li li


Affordable Care Act?
li li li


a. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status. li li li li li li li li


b. Most of the population will be covered by health insurance.
li li li li li li li li li


c. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
li li li li li li li li li li li


d. The prevalence of obesity will decrease.
li li li li li




li ACCURATE ANSWER:-B li




REASONING:->>>One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care li li li li li li li li


Act might be that the majority of the population would be covered by insurance and
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


public health agencies will not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


those who need them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


Americans to pay closer attention to their health status or decrease the prevalence of
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


obesity.

,4. The public health nursing attendant (PHN) must participate in the essential
li li li li li li li li li li


services of public health. What is one of the essential services of public health
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


nursing?
li


a. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment li li li li li li li


b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world li li li li li li li


c. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues li li li li li li li


d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety li li li li li li li li li




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C li


REASONING:->>>The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a li li li li li li li li li


community assessment is only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


diagnose or solve ―world‖ problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


participate with local regulators to protect communities and empower people to address
li li li li li li li li li li li li


health issues.

5. A public health department is using the mission of public health as described by the Institute
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li

of Medicine when planning its health programming. Which of the following activities
li li li li li li li li li li li li

will most likely be implemented?
li li li li li


a. Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance in the United States li li li li li li li li li li


b. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person at the health department li li li li li li li li li li li


c. Keeping track of alternative therapies in use in the United States li li li li li li li li li li


d. Keeping snake antivenom at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in
li li li li li li li li li li li


Atlanta li




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A li


REASONING:->>>The Institute of Medicine‘s stated mission on public health is ―to li li li li li li li li li li


generate organized community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote
li li li li li li li li li li li


health.‖ Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care.
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


health of the population.
li li li li


Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


disease prevention.

6. A public health department makes sure that the essential community-oriented health
li li li li li li li li li li


services are available in the community. Which of the following core public health functions
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


is being implemented?
li li li


a. Policy development li




b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific knowledge-based care li li




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C li


REASONING:->>>Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to li li li li li li li li li


ensure certain activities have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


plans. Policy development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


public policy. Assessment includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and
li li li li li li li li li li


disseminating information on both the health status and the health-related aspects of a
li li li li li li li li li li li li li


community or a specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge but is not
li li li li li li li li li li li li li li li


a core function.
