There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced infections, such as the
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources from other health care programs to be
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
spent for public safety. The others are not related to public health or are concerns that have been present for

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best describes the
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
basis for this concern?
z z z z
a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve z z z z z

z
ANS: C z
Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health care programs.
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs would be eliminated, the health care
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
system could experience changes, and that there would be an increase in the need for shelter.
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
However, all of these things would happen because of the diversion of funds.

One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act might actually be that the majority

of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies will not need to provide direct
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
clinical services in order to assure that those who need them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z

obesity.

4. The public health nurse (PHN) must participate in the essential services of public health. Which of the
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
following most accurately describes one of the essential services of public health?
z z z z z z z z z z z z
a. Monitoring health status by completing a z z z z z
community assessment
z z
b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems z z z z
in the world

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

d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health z z z z z z
and ensure safety
z z z
ANS: C z
The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is only one way that
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world” problems, or work in law
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local regulators to protect communities and
z z z z z z z z z z z z z
empower people to address health issues.

The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized community and
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person only
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease

z z z z z z z z z z z z z
a. Policy development z

d. Scientific knowledge-based care z z

Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to ensure certain activities have been

appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and plans. Policy development seeks to build
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
constituencies that can help bring about change in public policy. Assessment includes activities that
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
involve collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on both the health status and the health-
z z z z z z z z z z z z z z
related aspects of a community or a specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge, but
