Population H Item Bank: Stanhope Public Health Nursing, 10E
What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of the
American people in the twenty-first century?
* A. Bioterrorism and global health threats
B. Delivery of individual care and hygiene
C. The need for increased hospital and acute care
D. Chronic disease and disability management
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Rationale:
There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced
infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources
from other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related
to public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
describes the basis for this concern?
A. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs.
B. This threat could cause the health care system to collapse.
* C. The threat may divert funds from other public safety health care programs.
, D. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Rationale:
Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health
care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs
would be eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there
would be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would
happen because of the diversion of funds.

Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of the
Affordable Care Act?
A. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status.
* B. Most of the population will be covered by health insurance.
C. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
D. The prevalence of obesity will decrease.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Rationale:
One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act might be that
the majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies
will not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those who need
them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans to pay
closer attention to their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

The public health nurse (PHN) must participate in the essential services of public health.
What is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
A. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment
B. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world
* C. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues
D. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Rationale:
The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is
only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve
“world” problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with
local regulators to protect communities and empower people to address health issues.
