CHAPTER 1: PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING – FOUNDATIONS
Question 1
A nurse is striving to practice patient-centered care at a hospital. Which action best
exemplifies providing patient-centered care?
A) Having a client complete a self-reported functional status indicator and then
reviewing it with the client
B) Explaining to a client the benefits of computer-assisted robotic surgical
1
, techniques, which the hospital recently implemented
C) Recording a client's signs and symptoms in an electronic health record
D) Performing continuous glucose monitoring of a client while the client is in the
hospital
Answer: A
Rationale: Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences,
values, families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own
care,
and monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. The AHRQ has
developed tools
including client-reported functional status indicators to empower clients.
Technological
advances do not necessarily help the client become an active participant in care
[citation:2][citation:6].
Question 2
A nurse is caring for an older client who is struggling to manage her type 2
diabetes
mellitus. The nurse should recognize which social determinants of this client's
health?
(Select all that apply.)
2
,A) Household income of $23,000 per year
B) Reading level of a third grader
C) Medication ineffective due to error in prescription
D) Originally from Sudan
E) No family in the area
Answer: A, B, D, E
Rationale: Social determinants of health include social conditions in which people
live:
income, social status, education, literacy, home and work environment, support
networks,
gender, culture, and availability of health services. A medical error by the provider
does not constitute a social determinant of health [citation:2][citation:6].
Question 3
A nurse successfully persuades an obese client to perform a weekly weigh-in at
home
using a digital scale and record the weight in a log. This strategy is an example of:
A) Telehealth
B) Health information technology
C) Personal responsibility for health
3
, D) Evidence-based nursing
Answer: C
Rationale: Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's
own health through education and lifestyle changes. In this case, the client makes a
positive change in lifestyle by monitoring body weight weekly. Telehealth is the
use
of electronic information and telecommunications technologies. Health
information
technology is the comprehensive management of health information
[citation:2][citation:6].
Question 4
What is the educational credential required for entry into public health nursing
practice?
A) Diploma in nursing
B) Associate degree in nursing
C) Baccalaureate degree in nursing
D) Master's degree in nursing
Answer: C
