er’health’care’programs’to’be’spent’for’public’safety.’The’others’are’not’related’to’public’healt
h’or’are’concerns’that’have’been’present’for’many’years.

ANS:’ ’ C
Bioterrorism’may’have’an’impact’on’the’availability’of’resources’for’public’safety’health’care’
programs.’Because’funds’are’diverted’it’is’possible’that’community-
based’programs’would’be’eliminated,’the’health’care’system’could’experience’changes,’and’th
at’there’would’be’an’increase’in’the’need’for’shelter.’However,’all’the’remaining’options’woul

ANS:’ ’ C
The’PHN’monitors’health’status’in’several’ways,’completing’a’community’assessment’is’only’
one’way’that’health’status’is’monitored.’The’PHN’would’not’diagnose’or’solve’“world”‘proble
ms,’or’work’in’law’enforcement.’Rather,’the’PHN’would’participate’with’local’regulators’to’pr
otect’communities’and’empower’people’to’address’health’issues.

u’outbreaks’and’doing’surveillance’applies’this’concept’at’a’population’level.’Providing’a’flu’s
hot’for’an’elderly’person’only’addresses’individual’care.’Keeping’track’of’the’use’of’alternativ
e’therapies’does’nothing’to’prevent’disease’or’promote’health’of’the’population.
Keeping’snake’antivenom’is’aimed’at’disease’care’for’an’individual,’not’health’promotion’or’diseas
e’prevention.
b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific’knowledge-based’care
ANS:’ ’ C
Assurance’focuses’on’the’responsibility’of’public’health’agencies’to’ensure’certain’activities’h
ave’been’appropriately’carried’out’to’meet’public’health’goals’and’plans.’Policy’development’s

udes’activities’that’involve’collecting,’analyzing,’and’disseminating’information’on’both’the’h
ealth’status’and’the’health-
related’aspects’of’a’community’or’a’specific’population.’Public’health’is’based’on’scientific’kn
