MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of the
American people in the twenty-first century?
a. Bioterrorism and global health threats
b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene
c. The need for increased hospital and acute care
d. Chronic disease and disability management
ANS: A
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 from
other health care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related topublic
health or are concerns that have been present for many years.

2. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best
describes the basis for this concern?
a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs.
b. This threat could causeN eR
thUhSeaIlthNcGaT
reBs.ysC mMto collapse.
teO
c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety health care programs.
d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
ANS: C
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 would be
eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there wouldbe an increase in
the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options would happen because of the diversion of
funds.

3. Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of the
Affordable Care Act?
a. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status.
b. Most of the population will be covered by health insurance.
c. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
d. The prevalence of obesity will decrease.
ANS: B

, Public Health Nursing 10th Edition Stanhope Test Bank (UPDATED 2024)

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

MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

4. The public health nurse (PHN) must participate in the essential services of public health.What
is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
a. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment
b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world
c. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues
d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety
ANS: C
The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is 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.

5. A public health department is using the mission of public health as described by the Instituteof
Medicine when planningNitsRheaIlth pGrogB
ramming. Which of the following activities will most likely be
implemented? U S. CNM T O
a. Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance in the United States
b. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person at the health department
c. Keeping track of alternative therapies in use in the United States
d. Keeping snake antivenom at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in
Atlanta
ANS: A
The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized community
and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avianflu outbreaks and
doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu shot for an elderly
person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternative therapies does
nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion ordisease
prevention.

implemented?
a. Policy development

b. Assessment
c. Assurance
d. Scientific knowledge-based care
ANS: C
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 development seeks to
build constituencies that can help bring about change in public policy. Assessment includes activities
that involve collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on both the health status and the
health-related aspects of a community or a specific population. Public health is based on scientific
knowledge but is not a core function.

8. Which of the following statements about public health is accurate?
a. Prevention of early deaths can be more effectively accomplished by medical
treatment than by public health approaches.
b. Expenditures and resources for public health have increased in recent years.
c. Historically, gains in the health of populations have been related largely to changesin
safety, sanitation, and food safety.
d. Reform of the medical insurance system is the single change needed to improvethe
health of Americans.
ANS: C
Fielding and Tilson have asserted that most of the increase in life span has been made through
improvements in sanitation, clean water supplies, making workplaces safer, improving food and
drug safety, immunizing children, and improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Medical treatment
has not made as significant of an impact on the life span aspublic health measures. Funding for
public health in recent years has been on a gradual decline. Although reform of the medical
insurance system may help improve the health of Americans, there are many other factors that
will need to be addressed.
