c. the need for increased hospital and acute care.
d. chronic disease and disability management.

basis for this concern?

c. The threat of bioterrorism may divert funds
from other public safety health care programs.
d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for
shelters.
ANS: C
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 of these things would happen because of the diversion of funds.

health status.
b. The majority of the population will be
covered by insurance.
c. Public health departments will need to
increase the number of nursing positions.

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 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.

about health issues
d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health
and ensure safety
ANS: C
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.
