ANS D @

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ps, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for t
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

lation within it. Community-based Nurses deal primarily with illness-
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

oriented care of individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chroni
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ommunity, and the focus of practice is on individual or
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

family-centered illness care. @ @

4. WHICH of the Following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th c
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs

@ @ @ @ @

ANS C @

reasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to 78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60%

ugh improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4) improv
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people are exc

ns in the health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ANS C @

The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely se
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

e larger community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of th

s (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disa
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ect the health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collective
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

tions exist in WHICH people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

es. The focus is on prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individu

@healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

7. WHICH of the Following actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nurse?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
@ @ @ @ @ @ @

b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions
@ @ @ @ @ @ @

c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determi
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ne needed health services
@ @ @

d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ANS D @

Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

unity to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

alth and improving the environment. The interventions of asking community leaders WHICH interven

essing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using data from health care inst
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

the engagement of the community when making decisions about what the community actually wants
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ANS B @

Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

oups about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing sp

@deal with barriers to health. However, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various he
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

presentative, because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public h
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

@community should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

rities, and watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective than interacting w
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

9. WHICH of the Following best defines aggregate?
@ @ @ @ @ @

a. A large group of persons
@ @ @ @

b. A collection of individuals and families
@ @ @ @ @

c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

d. Another name for demographic group @ @ @ @

ANS C @

An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental cha
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

ommunity can be defined in terms of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

children attending a particular school). These members make up a population. The term population m
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

with the term aggregate. A large group of persons, a collection of individuals and families, and anot
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

roup are not accurate definitions of the term aggregate.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

10. WHICH question asked by a novice Nurse would be the most reflective of an understanding of the ro
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

a. ―WHICH groups are at the greatest risk for problems?‖
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

b. ―WHICH patients should I see first as I begin my day?‖
