,Part One: The Context Of Community And Public Health Nursing
Chapter 1- Public Health Nursing: Present, Past, And Future
1. A Nurse Is Striving To Practice Patient-Centered Care At A Hospital. Which Action Best Exemplifies
Providing Patient-Centered Care?
A) Having A Client Complete A Self-Reported Functional Status Indicator And Then Reviewing It
With The Client
B) Explaining To A Client The Benefits Of Computer-Assisted Robotic Surgical Techniques, Which
The Hospital Recently Implemented
C) Recording A Client's Signs And Symptoms In An Electronic Health Record
D) Performing Continuous Glucose Monitoring Of A Client While The Client Is In The Hospital
ANSWER> A
Feedback:
Patient-Centered Care Considers Cultural Traditions, Personal Preferences, Values, Families, And
Lifestyles. Clients Become Active Participants In Their Own Care, And Monitoring Health Becomes The
Client's Responsibility. To Help Clients And Their Healthcare Providers Make Better Decisions, The
Agency For Healthcare Research And Quality (Ahrq) Has Developed A Series Of Tools That Empower
Clients And Assist Providers In Achieving Desired Outcomes, Including Client-Reported Functional Status
Indicators. Computer-Assisted Robotic Surgical Techniques, Electronic Health Records, And Continuous
Glucose Monitoring In The Hospital Are All Technological Advances In Healthcare, But They Do Not Help
The Client Become A More Active Participant In His Or Her Care, And Thus Are Not Good Examples Of
Patient-Centered Care.
2. A Nurse Is Caring For An Older Client Who Is Struggling To Manage Her Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
The Nurse Should Recognize Which Social Determinants Of This Client's Health? (Select All That Apply.)
A) Household Income Of $23,000 Per Year
B) Reading Level Of A Third Grader
C) Medication Ineffective Due To Error In Prescription
D) Originally From Sudan
E) No Family In The Area
ANSWER> A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The Social Conditions In Which People Live, Their Income, Social Status, Education, Literacy, Home And
Work Environment, Support Networks, Gender, Culture, And Availability Of Health Services Are The
Social Determinants Of Health. These Conditions Have An Impact On The Extent To Which A Person Or
, Community Possesses The Physical, Social, And Personal Resources Necessary To Attain And Maintain
Health. A Medical Error On The Part Of The Client's Primary Care Provider Or Nurse Would Not
Constitute A Social Determinant Of The Client's Health.
3. A Nurse Successfully Persuades An Obese Client To Perform A Weekly Weigh-In At Home Using A
Digital Scale And Record The Weight In A Log. This Strategy Is An Example Of:
A) Telehealth
B) Health Information Technology
C) Personal Responsibility For Health
D) Evidence-Based Nursing
ANSWER> C
Feedback:
Personal Responsibility For Health Involves Active Participation In One's Own Health Through Education
And Lifestyle Changes. In This Case, The Client Makes A Positive Change In Lifestyle By Monitoring Body
Weight Weekly. Telehealth Is The Use Of Electronic Information And Telecommunications Technologies
To Support Long-Distance Clinical Healthcare, Client And Professional Health-Related Education, Public
Health, And Health Administration. Health Information Technology (Hit) Is Defined As The
Comprehensive Management Of Health Information And Its Exchange Between Consumers, Providers,
Government, And Insurers In A Secure Manner. Evidence-Based Nursing Is The Integration Of The Best
Evidence Available With Clinical Expertise And The Values Of The Client To Increase The Quality Of Care.
4. A Nurse Performs A Variety Of Tasks As Part Of The Nurse's Position At A Hospital. Which
Task Best Exemplifies Public Health?
A) Reading Current Nursing Journals And Integrating The Latest Research Into Daily Practice
B) Instructing A Client On How To Best Care For A Suture Site At Home
C) Participating In A Videoconference Call With A Client Who Lives In A Remote Area
D) Facilitating A Community-Wide Smoking Cessation Program One Month Out Of The Year
ANSWER> D
Feedback:
Public Health Is What Society Does Collectively To Ensure The Conditions Exist In Which People Can Be
Healthy. A Community-Wide Smoking Cessation Program Is A Great Example Of A Public Health
Intervention, In That It Involves The Collective Effort Of Society To Improve The Health Of Its Members.
Reading And Applying The Latest Nursing Research Is An Example Of Evidence-Based Nursing. Instructing
A Client On How To Best Care For A Suture Site At Home Is An Example Of Personal Responsibility For
