fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


a. Families and groups fi fi


b. Illness-oriented care fi


c. Individuals within the family unit fi fi fi fi


d. Health care of communities and populations fi fi fi fi fi




ANS D f i


In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather tha

fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


oriented care of individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic he

nity, and the focus of practice is on individual or
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


family-centered illness care. fi fi




4. WHICH of the Following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th centu
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi

There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and programs were p

5. A Nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community. WHICH of the
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi f

, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong. fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi




ANS C f i


The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely separa
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


er community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the commun

s) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability and promo
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


he community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to ensure that
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


eople can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health disparitie
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making health

a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine ne

d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment

Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily with

unity and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not demon

8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi




ANS B f i


Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with co

about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing specialists t

b. A collection of individuals and families
fi fi fi fi fi
