ANS: A sxs x


By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-
sx sx sx sx sx sx


specific practice in which care is provided for “sick” individuals and families where
sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx s


xthey live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care and t
sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


he provision of comprehensive, coordinated, andcontinuous care. These nurses may
sx sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx


be generalists or specialists in maternal–
sx sx sx sx s x


infant, pediatric,adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


s based nursing emphasizes acute andchronic care to individuals and families, rather
x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


s than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.

sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx




ANS: D sxs x

oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining health and p
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx


reventing disease to promote the quality of life. All nurses may focuson individuals a
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx


nd families, give direct care to ill persons within their family setting, and helpmanag

e acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to community-

orientednursing.

sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


a. Families and groups sx sx


b. Illness-oriented care sx


c. Individuals within the family unit sx sx sx sx


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




ANS: D sx


In public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of communities and
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


populations rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent di
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


sease andpreserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community and the
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


population within it. Community-based nurses deal primarily with illness-
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


oriented care of individuals and families acorss the life span. The aim is to amanage
sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is o
sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


n individual or family- centered illness care.

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


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


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




ANS: C sx


Improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, sanitation, and sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


xother population- sx


based prevention programs led to the increase in life expectancy from less than 50ye
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx


ars in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. Although people are excited when a new
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx


drug isdiscovered that cures a disease or when a new way to transplant organs is per
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx


fected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the health of populations
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x s


that have come largely from public health accomplishments.

5. A nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the c
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


ommunity.Which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx

s x sx sx

sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx

sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


r communitymembers.

ANS: B sx


Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing the way
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


xpeopleeat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment. Increasing kn
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


owledge of hospice care, encouraging on- sx sx sx sx sx


site wellness centers, and ensuring timely treatment of medicalconditions do not addr
sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx


ess the focus of improving overall health through health promotion strategies. This is
sx sx sx sx sx sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx


the major method that is suggested to decrease the incidence of premature death.

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


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


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


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


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




ANS: C sx


Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the co
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s x


mmunity’s health status (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups.
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


The goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the health of t
s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


he community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively
s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx s


does to ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. The basic assum
x s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ptions of public health do notjudge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on
sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual re
sxs x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


sponsibility for making healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not th
sx s x sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


e role of the government.
