American people in the twenty-first century?

a. Bioterrorism and global health threats dy dy dy dy




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




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




d. Chronic disease and disability management dy dy dy dy




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A dy




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




globally induced infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert primary care funds
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




and resources from other primary care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




not related to public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

dy dy dy dy




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

dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C dy




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




public safety primary care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible those
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




community-based programs would be eliminated, the primary care system could experience
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




changes, and that there would be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




remaining options would happen because of the diversion of funds.

dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




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




d. The prevalence of obesity will decrease. dy dy dy dy dy




dy ACCURATE ANSWER:-B dy




REASONING:->>>One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




Act might be that the majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




health agencies will not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




who need them can receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




Americans to pay closer attention to their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

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




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




nursing?
dy




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




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




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




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




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C dy




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




community assessment is only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




diagnose or solve “world” problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




participate with local regulators to protect communities and empower people to address
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




health issues.

5. Apublic health department is using the mission of public health as described by the Institute of
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




Medicine when planning its health programming. Which of the following activities will
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




most likely be implemented?
dy dy dy dy




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




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




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




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




Atlanta dy




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A dy




REASONING:->>>The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




generate organized community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




health.” Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care.
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




health of the population.
dy dy dy dy




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




prevention.

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




are available in the community. Which of the following core public health functions is being
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




implemented?
dy




a. Policy development dy




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




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C dy




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




ensure certain activities have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




plans. Policy development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




public policy. Assessment includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




disseminating information on both the health status and the health-related aspects of a
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




community or a specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge but is not a
dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy dy




core function.
