There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced

infections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert health care funds and resources
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
from other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to

public health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health

care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
would be eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there would
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would happen

because of the diversion of funds.

One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act might be that the
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies will
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those who need them can
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
receive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans to pay closer
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
attention to their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve ―world‖

problems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local

regulators to protect communities and empower people to address health issues.

The Institute of Medicine‘s stated mission on public health is ―to generate organized
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
community and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.‖ Tracking avian
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
flu outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
flu shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
alternative therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or

disease prevention.

Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to ensure certain activities

have been appropriately carried out to meet public health goals and plans. Policy
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
development seeks to build constituencies that can help bring about change in public
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
policy. Assessment includes activities that involve collecting, analyzing, and disseminating
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
information on both the health status and the health-related aspects of a community or a
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
specific population. Public health is based on scientific knowledge but is not a core function.

b. Expenditures and resources for public health have increased in recent years. iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv

d. Reform of the medical insurance system is the single change needed to improve

the health of Americans.

ANS: C i v
Fielding and Tilson have asserted that most of the increase in life span has been made
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
through improvements in sanitation, clean water supplies, making workplaces safer,
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
improving food and drug safety, immunizing children, and improving nutrition, hygiene,
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
and housing. Medical treatment has not made as significant of an impact on the life span as
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
public health measures. Funding for public health in recent years has been on a gradual
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
decline. Although reform of the medical insurance system may help improve the health of
iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv iv
Americans, there are many other factors that will need to be addressed.
