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.

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
focuson individuals and families, give direct care to ill persons within their family setting,
and helpmanage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to
community-orientednursing.
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 andpreserve, 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 the20th 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
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 50years in 1900 to more than 78 years in 2013. Although
people are excited when a new drug isdiscovered 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.

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 peopleeat, drink, drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment.
Increasing knowledge of
hospice care, encouraging on-site wellness centers, and ensuring timely treatment of
medicalconditions 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?
