1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


health of the American people in the twenty-first century?
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


a. Bioterrorism and global health threats n7 n7 n7 n7


b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


c. The need for increased health center and acute care
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


d. Chronic disease and disability management n7 n7 n7 n7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A n7


REASONING:->>>There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


and globally induced infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


primary care funds and resources from other primary care programs to be spent for
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


public safety. The others are not related to public health or are concerns that have
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


best describes the basis for this concern?
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs. n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7



b. This threat could causeNthUeRhSeaIlthNcGaTreBs.ysCteOmMto collapse.
n7 n7 n7 n7


c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety primary care programs.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C n7


REASONING:->>>Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


for public safety primary care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


those community-based programs would be eliminated, the primary care system could
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


experience changes, and that there would be an increase in the need for shelter.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


However, all the remaining options would happen because of the diversion of funds.

3. Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


the Affordable Care Act?
n7 n7 n7 n7


a. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status. n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


b. Most of the population will be covered by health insurance.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


c. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


d. The prevalence of obesity will
n7 n7 n7 n7




decrease. ACCURATE ANSWER:-B
n7 n7 n7




REASONING:->>>One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


Care Act might be that the majority of the population would be covered by insurance
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


and public health agencies will not need to provide direct clinical services in order to
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


assure that those who need them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


directly cause Americans to pay closer attention to their health status or decrease the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


prevalence of obesity.

4. The public health nursing attendant (PHN) must participate in the essential
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


services of public health. What is one of the essential services of public
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


health nursing?
n7 n7


a. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


c. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C n7


REASONING:->>>The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


community assessment is only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


not diagnose or solve ―world‖ problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


PHN would participate with local regulators to protect communities and empower
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


people to address health issues.

5. A public health department is using the mission of public health as described by the
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


Institute of Medicine when planning its health programming. Which of the following
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


activities will most likely be implemented?
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


a. Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance in the United States
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


b. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person at the health department
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


c. Keeping track of alternative therapies in use in the United States
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


d. Keeping snake antivenom at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


in Atlanta
n7 n7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A n7


REASONING:->>>The Institute of Medicine‘s stated mission on public health is ―to n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


generate organized community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


promote health.‖ Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


concept at a population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person only
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


disease prevention.

6. A public health department makes sure that the essential community-oriented health
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


services are available in the community. Which of the following core public health
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


functions is being implemented?
n7 n7 n7 n7


a. Policy development n7




b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific knowledge-based care n7 n7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C n7


REASONING:->>>Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


ensure certain activities have been appropriately carried out to meet public health
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


goals and plans. Policy development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


about change in public policy. Assessment includes activities that involve collecting,
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


analyzing, and disseminating information on both the health status and the health-
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7


related aspects of a community or a specific population. Public health is based on
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7

, scientific knowledge but is not a core function.

d. Uniting public and private providers of care in a comprehensive
