1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of the
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




American people in the twenty-first century?
H H H H H H




a. Bioterrorism and global health threats H H H H




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




c. The need for increased hospital and acute care
H H H H H H H




d. Chronic disease and disability management H H H H




ANS: A H




There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




from other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




describes the basis for this concern?

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

d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
H H H H H H H H




ANS: C H




Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health care
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs would be
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there would be an
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would happen because of
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




the diversion of funds.

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




majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies will not
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those who need them can receive
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans to pay closer attention to
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

4. The public health nurse (PHN) must participate in the essential services of public health.
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




What is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
H H H H H H H H H H H




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




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




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




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




ANS: C H




The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is only
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world”
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




regulators to protect communities and empower people to address health issues.

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

Medicine when planningNits RheaI lth pGrogBra.mCminMg. Which of the following activities will most

likely be implemented?

H H H H H H H H H H




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




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




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




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




Atlanta H




ANS: A H




The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized
H H H H H H H H H H H H




community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avian flu
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu shot
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




for an elderly person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternative
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
H H H H H H H H H H H H




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




disease prevention.

a. Policy development H

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




ANS: C H




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




have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and plans. Policy development
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in public policy. Assessment
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on both
H H H H H H H H H H H




the health status and the health-related aspects of a community or a specific population. Public
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




health is based on scientific knowledge but is not a core function.

8. Which of the following statements about public health is accurate?
H H H H H H H H H




a. Prevention of early deaths can be more effectively accomplished by medical H H H H H H H H H H




treatment than by public health approaches.
H H H H H H




b. Expenditures and resources for public health have increased in recent years. H H H H H H H H H H




c. Historically, gains in the health of populations have been related largely to changes in H H H H H H H H H H H H H




safety, sanitation, and food safety.
H H H H H




d. Reform of the medical insurance system is the single change needed to improve the
H H H H H H H H H H H H H




health of Americans.
H H H




ANS: C H




Fielding and Tilson have asserted that most of the increase in life span has been made through
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




improvements in sanitation, clean water supplies, making workplaces safer, improving food
H H H H H H H H H H H




and drug safety, immunizing children, and improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing.
H H H H H H H H H H H




Medical treatment has not made as significant of an impact on the life span as public health
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




measures. Funding for public health in recent years has been on a gradual decline. Although
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




reform of the medical insurance system may help improve the health of Americans, there are
H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H




many other factors that will need to be addressed.
