MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. How does public health nursing differ from community health nursing?
a. Public health nurses focus on individuals and families.
b. Public health nurses understand the needs of a population.
c. Public health nurses ignore political processes.
d. Public health nurses consider the individual as one member of a group.
ANS: B
Public health nursing requires understanding the needs of a population. A public health nurse
understands factors that influence the political processes used to affect public policy. The
primary focus of community health nursing is the care of individuals, families, and groups in
the community. By focusing on subpopulations, the community health nurse cares for the
community as a whole and considers the individual or family as only one member of a group
at risk.

URSIresponsibility
NGTB.COMand fairness.
d. Social justice is a process to exercise the ability to enhance control.
ANS: C
Social justice is rooted in notions of societal (social) responsibility and fairness (justice).
“Social justice is the equitable, or fair, distribution of society's benefits, responsibilities and
their consequences. It focuses on the relative position of social advantage of one individual or
social group in relation to others in society as well as on the root causes of inequities and what
can be done to eliminate them” (CNA, 2010, p. 13). A focus of primary health care is disease
prevention, not social justice. Social justice applies to all people, not just those in precarious
situations, and it is not to be used as a means to enhance control.

NURSINGTB.COM
, Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing 6th Edition Potter Test Bank
The community health nurse understands the needs of a population or community through
experience with individual families in working through their social and health care issues. The
community-based nurse (home health nurse) focuses on the needs of the individual or family.
Community-based nursing centres function as the first point of contact between members of a
community and the health care system. The community-based nurse learns to partner with
patients and families so that ultimately the patient and the family become involved in
planning, decision making, implementation, and evaluation of health care approaches.

OBJ: Differentiate between public health nursing and home health nursing.

enhancing patient autonomy is known as what kind of nursing?

b. Community health nursing
c. Home health nursing
d. Community-focused nursing
ANS: C
Home health nursing involves acute and chronic care of individuals and families and enhances
their capacity for self-care while promoting autonomy in decision making. Public health
nursing focuses on the needs of a population. Community health nursing involves caring for
the community as a whole, and the individual or the family is considered only one member of
a group at risk. Community-focused nursing entails an understanding of the needs of a
population or community.

a. Preventing individual illness.
b. Preventing community outbreak of illness.
c. Preventing outbreak of illness in the family.
d. The needs of the individual or family.

preventing illness in or meeting the needs of a specific individual or family.
DIF: Understand REF: 50
OBJ: Discuss the roles and functions of the community health nurse.
