multiple choice

a. a practice in which care is provided for individuals and families
b. providing care with a focus on the group’s needs
c. giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs
d. a value system in which all clients receive optimal care
ans: a
by definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in which care is provided for
“sick” individuals and families where they live, work, and attend school. the emphasis is on acute and
chronic care and the provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care. these nurses may
be generalists or specialists in maternal–infant, pediatric, adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing.
community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to individuals and families, rather than
focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
2. which of the following best describes community-oriented nursing?
a. focusing on the provision of care to individuals and families
b. providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions
c. giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
d. having the goal of health promotion and disease prevention
ans: d
by definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining
health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. all nurses may focus on individuals and
families, give direct care to ill persons within their family setting, and help manage acute or chronic
conditions. these definitions are not specific to community-oriented nursing.
, 3. which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
a. families and groups
b. illness-oriented care
c. individuals within the family unit
d. health care of communities and populations
ans: d
in public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather
than on individuals, groups, and families. the goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote,
restore, and protect health for the community and the population within it. community-based nurses
deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and families acorss the life span. the aim is to
amanage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is on
individual or family-centered illness care.
4. which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the
20th century?
a. technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research
b. advances in surgical techniques and procedures
c. sanitation and other population-based prevention programs

ans: c
improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, sanitation, and other
population-based prevention programs led to the increase in life expectancy from less than 50 years in
1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. although people are excited when a new drug is discovered that
cures a disease or when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know about
the significant gains in the health of populations that have come largely from public health
accomplishments.
5. a nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community.
which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented by the nurse?
