MULTIPLE CHOICE sk
1. WHICH statement best describes community-based nursing?
sk sk sk sk sk
a. A practice in WHICH care is provided for individuals and families.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. Providing care with a focus on the group‘s needs. sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate‘s needs. sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
d. A value system in WHICH all clients receive optimal care.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k A
By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in WHICH care is provided for ―si
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
where they live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provisio
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
coordinated, and continuous care. These Nurses may be generalists or specialists in maternal–infant, p
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to in
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
2. WHICH statement best describes the goal of community-oriented nursing?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Providing care to individuals and families sk sk sk sk sk
b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
c. Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
d. To preserve, protect, promote, or maintain health and prevent disease
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining health a
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
promote the quality of life. All Nurses may focus on individuals and families, give direct care to ill p
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to community
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
3. WHICH of the fOllOwing is the primary focus of public health nursing?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Families and groups sk sk
b. Illness-oriented care sk
c. Individuals within the family unit sk sk sk sk
d. Health care of communities and populations sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k D
In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the com
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
within it. Community-based Nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and famil
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
The aim is to manage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practic
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
family-centered illness care. sk sk
4. WHICH of the fOllOwing is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th ce
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures sk sk sk sk sk
c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs sk sk sk sk sk
d. Use of antibiotics to fight infectionssk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k C
There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and programs we
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
increasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to 78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60%
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
through improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4) imp
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people are exc
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
discovered that cures a disease or when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to kn
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
gains in the health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
5. A Nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community. WHICH of th
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
interventions would most likely be implemented by the Nurse?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Provide free health care to all citizens sk sk sk sk sk sk
, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k C
The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely sep
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
larger community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk s
(resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disabili
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
the health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively d
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
conditions exist in WHICH people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judg
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
disparities. The focus is on prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, i
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
making healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
7. WHICH of the fOllOwing actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nurse?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
needed health services
sk sk sk
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k D
Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily w
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
community to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a who
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
promoting health and improving the environment. The interventions of asking community leaders WH
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
be chosen, assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using data from he
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
demonstrate the engagement of the community when making decisions about what the community ac
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
ANS s k B
Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
groups about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing s
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
aggressive in working collaboratively with various groups in the community as well as professional c
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
settings to deal with barriers to health. However, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
the most representative, because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk s
concerns of the community should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual conce
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
aggregate priorities, and watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective tha
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
9. WHICH of the fOllOwing best defines aggregate?
sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. A large group of persons
sk sk sk sk
b. A collection of individuals and families
sk sk sk sk sk
c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
d. Another name for demographic group sk sk sk sk
ANS s k C
An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental char
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
community can be defined in terms of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
children attending a particular school). These members make up a population. The term population may
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk

sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
group are not accurate definitions of the term aggregate.
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
10. WHICH question asked by a novice Nurse would be the most reflective of an understanding of the role
sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
a. ―WHICH groups are at the greatest risk for problems?‖ sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
b. ―WHICH patients should I see first as I begin my day?‖ sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk
