MULTIPLE CHOICE

Which statement best describes community-based nursing?
A practice in which care is provided for individuals and families.
Providing care with a focus on the group’s needs.
Giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs.
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 familieswhere 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 psychiatricmental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to
individuals and families, rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.

Which statement best describes the goal of community-oriented nursing?
Providing care to individuals and families
Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions
Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
To preserve, protect, promote, or maintain health and prevent disease
ANS: D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining health and preventing
disease topromote 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.

Which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
Families and groups
Illness-oriented care
Individuals within the family unit
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 populationwithin it. Community-based nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of
individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic health conditions in the
community, and the focus of practice is on individual or
family-centered illness care.

Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th century?
Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research
Advances in surgical techniques and procedures
Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs
Use of antibiotics to fight infections
ANS: C
There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and programs were primarily
responsible for increasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to 78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately
60% in just over a century plusthrough improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making
workplaces safer, (4) improving food and drug safety,
(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. 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 significantgains in the health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
