CHAPTER 01: HEALTH: A COMMUNITY VIEW
NIES: COMMUNITY/PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING, 7TH EDITION
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. WHICH BEST DESCRIBES THE PRIMARY REASON THAT AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
HEALTH CARE?
A. POLITICIANS ARE DISCUSSING HOW TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE.
B. THE MEDIA HAS PROVIDED MIXED MESSAGES ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
C. OUR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE COSTS KEEP INCREASING.
D. THE NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OFFERS FREE SERVICES TO AMERICANS.
ANSWER>>C
THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FOCUS ON HEALTH CARE IS THE CONSTANTLY INCREASING COSTS,
WHICH CANNOT BE SUSTAINED. THE COSTS OF CARING FOR THE SICK ACCOUNTED FOR THE MAJORITY
OF ESCALATING HEALTH CARE DOLLARS, WHICH INCREASED FROM 5.7% OF THE GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT IN 1965 TO 17.8% IN 2015. POLITICIANS AND THE MEDIA BOTH INFLUENCE AMERICANS’
, PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF POPULATIONS 7TH EDITION
PERCEPTIONS ABOUT HEALTH CARE; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT THE PRIMARY REASON WHY AMERICANS
ARE CONCERNED. THE NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE THE HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND
AVAILABILITY, BUT WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE OFFERING ANY FREE SERVICES TO AMERICANS.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTAND (COMPREHENSION)
2. A NURSE HAS BEGUN TO LOBBY WITH POLITICIANS FOR CHANGES TO THE HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM. WHY IS THIS INVOLVEMENT IMPORTANT?
A. NURSES, AS CENTRAL CHARACTERS IN SEVERAL POPULAR TV SERIES, ARE CURRENTLY VERY
VISIBLE IN AMERICAN MEDIA.
B. NURSES ARE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING THE VARIOUS UNITS IN OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
C. NURSES ARE THE LARGEST SEGMENT OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.
D. NURSES ARE THE ONLY GROUP THAT IS EMPLOYED BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF HOSPITALS.
ANSWER>>C
AS THE LARGEST SEGMENT OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, NURSES ARE INFORMED ABOUT THE CURRENT
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT RESULT FROM PEOPLE NOT SEEKING CARE UNTIL
THEY ARE DESPERATELY ILL. NURSES, AS THE AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION (ANA) EMPHASIZE,
USUALLY BELIEVE THAT HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE. THEREFORE, NURSES, WHOSE
WORK IS CENTRAL TO OUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, CAN ALSO BE INSTRUMENTAL IN
WORKING POLITICALLY TO CREATE A HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT WILL MEET HEALTH NEEDS.
WHILE NURSES ARE IN SEVERAL CURRENT TV SERIES AND ARE EMPLOYED BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
OF HOSPITALS, PHYSICIANS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ARE AS WELL. NURSES ARE OFTEN
MANAGERS, BUT MANAGERS OFTEN HAVE OTHER BACKGROUNDS, SUCH AS BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTAND (COMPREHENSION)
3. WHAT CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN FROM EXAMINING WHERE NURSES ARE EMPLOYED?
A. THERE IS A TREND TOWARD CONSOLIDATION OF HEALTH CARE INTO LARGE CENTRAL MEDICAL
CENTERS.
B. THERE IS AN INCREASED EMPHASIS ON COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH CARE.
C. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS NEED TO DECREASE HEALTH CARE COSTS BY CUTTING POSITIONS.
D. MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS (MCOS) ARE EMPLOYING NURSES TO IMPROVE CUSTOMER
RELATIONS.
ANSWER>>B
MCOS ARE EMPLOYING NURSES IN MANY CAPACITIES. ALTHOUGH HOSPITALS ARE CLOSING AND ACUTE
CARE IS INCREASINGLY FOUND IN CENTRAL MEDICAL CENTERS, THE SAME TREND MAY BE SEEN IN AN
INCREASE IN NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED PRACTICE CENTERS. WHILE POSITIONS ARE CUT IN MOST
INDUSTRIES, HEALTH CARE IS RECOGNIZED AS AN AREA WHERE GROWTH IN EMPLOYMENT IS
EXPECTED. HOWEVER, NURSES ARE INCREASINGLY EMPLOYED IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS AS OPPOSED
TO HOSPITALS. THIS CHANGE REFLECTS THE MOVE TOWARD COMMUNITY-BASED CARE RATHER THAN
