Foundations for Population
Health in Community/Public
Health Nursing 6th Edition.
by Marcia Stanhope
1. In 1988, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a report on the future of public

health and its mission that defined public health as:

a. what public-private partnerships do to treat vulnerable populations.

b. what the government does to ensure that vital programs are in place.

c. what the U.S. Public Health Service does to prevent disease, promote health, and

deliver services.

d. what society does collectively to ensure the conditions in which people can be
healthy. - ANS:
D



In 1988, the IOM's report stated that public health is "what we, as a society, do

collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy." Consequently, the

mission of public health is "to generate organized community effort to address the

public's interest in health by applying scientific and technical knowledge to prevent

, disease and promote health." This clearly places the emphasis on the desire of the

population and community to ensure access to services that foster the health status of

the overall community through the equitable distribution of resources addressed to

community problems that affect health.




2. A registered nurse is seeking a position as a public health nurse. In reviewing the job

description, the nurse would expect to find a description of a position that focused on

functions such as:

a. monitoring pregnant teenagers for symptoms of complications of pregnancy.

b. offering free hypertension screening and treatment referral at local health fairs to

lowincome, uninsured, community members.

c. partnering with local seasonal farmworkers to design a program aimed at preventing

illness and injury, and advocating for this population with local political and

community leaders.

d. preventing injury among a population of elderly residents in an assisted living facility
and treating residents' chronic illnesses. - ANS: C



The scope of practice of public health nurses is population focused and community

oriented, with a primary emphasis on population-level interventions that target strategies
