Chapter 1, The Journey Begins: Introduction
1. A nurse has taught a group of nursing students about the similarities and differences between
public health and community health. Which statement by one of the nursing students would
best describe the similarities and differences between public health and community health?
A) “Community health nursing is defined as nursing care that is provided in a

B) “Public health nursing is defined as nursing care that is provided in an institutional
setting.”
C) “Public health nursing is focused on the health of individuals.”
D) “Community health nursing can shape the quality of community health services
and improve the health of the general public.”
ANS: D
Feedback:
Operating within an environment of rapid change and increasingly complex challenges, this
nursing specialty holds the potential to shape the quality of community health services and
improve the health of the general public by promoting healthy behaviors such as weight loss
and smoking cessation. Community health can encompass both acute and institutional
settings. Public health nursing involves focusing not only on the individual as the client but
the community as the client as well.

2. A nurse is reviewing the similarities and differences between public health nursing and
community health nursing. Which statement would best describe the difference between
public health nursing and community health nursing?
A) Public health nursing is focused on the private aspects of health, and community
health nursing is focused on the public aspects of health.

and is a part of the larger public health effort.

of services and perspectives.
D) Both public health nursing and community health nursing are practiced exclusively

ANS: B
Feedback:
In this textbook, community health practice refers to a focus on specific, designated
communities. It is a part of the larger public health effort and recognizes the fundamental
concepts and principles of public health as its birthright and foundation for practice. Public
health nursing is focused on the public aspects of health. Public health nursing and community
health nursing have distinctive types of services and perspectives. Neither public health
nursing nor community health nursing is practiced exclusively within institutions.

lives.

ANS: A
Feedback:
The broad definition of a community is a collection of people who share some important
features of their lives. Community members may not live in the same geographic location as
in a common-interest community or a community of solution. A population is made up of
people who do not necessarily interact with one another and do not necessarily share a sense
of belonging to that group.

Feedback:
An aggregate refers to a mass of grouping of distinct individuals who are considered as a
whole and who are loosely associated with one another. Communities and populations are
types of aggregates. A population is made up of people who do not necessarily interact with
one another and do not necessarily share a sense of belonging to the group. A community is a
collection of people who chose to interact with one another because of common interests,
characteristics, or goals, which form the basis for a sense of unity or belonging.

ANS: C
Feedback:
A common-interest community shares a common interest or goal that binds the members
together. Membership in a national professional organization is one example. The global
community and a small rural town in a northern state would be examples of a geographic
community. Counties addressing a water pollution problem would be an example of a
community of solution.

A community of solution involves a group of people coming together to solve a health
problem that affects them. A common-interest community involves a collection of people
widely scattered geographically who have an interest or goal that binds the members together.

7. Which statement made by a student would the nurse educator recognize as evidence that a
student understands the health continuum?
A) The distinction between health and illness is well demarcated.
B) Illness refers to a state of being relatively unhealthy.
C) The term health is limited to reflect an individual’s state.
D) Treatment of acute conditions reflects the current focus of health care.
ANS: B
Feedback:
Although society typically depicts an absolute line of difference between being either well or
ill, health is considered a relative term. Thus, illness is viewed as a state of being relatively
unhealthy. Health is typically described as a continuum that involves a range of degrees from
optimal health at one end to total disability or death at the other. The line of demarcation is
not clear. Health applies to individuals, families, and communities. Traditionally, most health
care has focused on the treatment of acute and chronic conditions at the illness end of the
continuum, but this emphasis is shifting to focus on the wellness end.
