Chapter 01: Health: A Community View
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 c annot
be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalatin g 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‘ perceptions about heal th care; however,
they are not the primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new h ealth care system will
change the health care access and availability, but will not necessaril y 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
t his involvement important?
a. Nurses, as central characters in several popular TV series, are currently ve
ry visible in American medi Na . RwlI G B.CM
b. Nurses are primarily responUs ibSl e foNr mTanagingOthe 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 healt h
care system and all the problems that result from people not seeking care until they are d
esperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually belie ve
that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to o ur current
health care delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to cr eate 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 oth er health care
, NIES COMMUNITY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING 8TH EDITION 11/26/2025
providers are as well. Nurses are often managers, but managers often have o ther 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 medic al 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 ca re is
increasingly found in central medical centers, the same trend may be seen in an increa se 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 empl oyed in
community settings as opposed to hospitals. This change reflects the move toward c ommunity-
based care rather than hospital-
based tertiary care. To help decrease the continued rise in health care costs, the increased e
mphasis is on disease prevention rather than high-cost treatment.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
4. Which ethical belief would be most helpful in the current health care crisis?
a. Emphasis should be on individual and corporation freedom in the marketplace.
b. Emphasis should be on individual autonomy and freedom of choice.
c. Emphasis should be on social justice and collective responsibility.
d. Emphasis should be on the effectiveness of technology in resolving problems.
ANSWER: C
