Population Health



MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which of the following best describes community-based nursing?
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
d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections

, answerdone.com

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?
a. Increase the community’s knowledge about hospice care.
b. Promote healthy lifestyle behavior choices among the community members.
c. Encourage employers to have wellness centers at each industrial site.
d. Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment for
community members.
ANS: B
Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing the
way people eat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment.
Increasing knowledge of hospice care, encouraging on-site wellness centers, and
ensuring timely treatment of medical conditions do not address the focus of
improving overall health through health promotion strategies. This is the major
method that is suggested to decrease the incidence of premature death.
6. Which of the following is a basic assumption of public health efforts?
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
ANS: C
Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the
community’s health status (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The
goal is to prevent disease and disability and promote and protect the health of the
community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to
ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public
health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention of illness not
on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making healthy
choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.

7. Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nurse?
a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions
c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to
determine needed health services
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
ANS: D
Although the public health nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works
primarily with members of the community to carry out core public health functions, including
assessment of the population as a whole and engaging in promoting health and improving
the environment. The interventions of asking community leaders which interventions should
be chosen, asessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using
data from health care institutions do not demonstrate the engagement of the community
when making decisions about what the community actually wants and needs.
