1. What is the primary focus to be addressed concerning the improvement of the health of th
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



e American people in the twenty-first century?
xr xr xr xr xr xr



a. Bioterrorism and global health threats xr xr xr xr



b. Delivery of individual care and hygiene xr xr xr xr xr



c. The need for increased health center and acute care
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



d. Chronic disease and disability management xr xr xr xr




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A xr



REASONING:-
>>>There are new concerns, and of the most serious are bioterrorism and globally induced in
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



fections, such as the avian flu. These threats will divert primary care funds and resources fro
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



m other primary care programs to be spent for public safety. The others are not related to publ
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



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

xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



escribes the basis for this concern? xr xr xr xr xr


a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs. xr xr xr xr xr xr xr

c. The threat may divert funds from other public safety primary care programs.
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr


d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C xr



REASONING:-
>>>Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety prima xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



ry care programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible those community-
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



based programs would be eliminated, the primary care system could experience changes, and
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



that there would be an increase in the need for shelter. However, all the remaining options w
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



ould happen because of the diversion of funds.

3. Which statement describes the consequence of the successful implementation of the A
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



ffordable Care Act? xr xr



a. Americans will pay closer attention to their health status. xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



b. Most o f the population will be covered by health insurance.xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



c. Public health departments will need to increase the number of nursing positions.
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



d. The prevalence of obesity will decrease. xr xr xr xr xr xr




ACCURATE ANSWER:-B xr




REASONING:-
>>>One consequence of successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act might be tha
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



t the majority of the population would be covered by insurance and public health agencies wi
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



ll not need to provide direct clinical services in order to assure that those who need them can r
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



eceive them. The Affordable Care Act will not directly cause Americans to pay closer attenti
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



on to their health status or decrease the prevalence of obesity.

4. The public health nursing attendant (PHN) must participate in the essential servic
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



es of public health. What is one of the essential services of public health nursing?
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



a. Monitoring health status by completing a community assessment xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



b. Diagnosing and investigating health problems in the world xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



c. Informing, educating, and empowering people about health issues xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C xr



REASONING:-
>>>The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



only one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve “world” p
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



roblems, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local regulator
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



s 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 Institute of
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr


Medicine when planning its health programming. Which of the following activities will mos
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr


t likely be implemented?
xr xr xr



a. Tracking avian flu outbreaks and doing surveillance in the United States xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



b. Providing a flu shot for an elderly person at the health department xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



c. Keeping track of alternative therapies in use in the United States xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



d. Keeping snake antivenom at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in A
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



tlanta
ACCURATE ANSWER:-A xr



REASONING:-
>>>The Institute of Medicine’s stated mission on public health is “to generate organized co
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



mmunity and technical knowledge to prevent disease and promote health.” Tracking avian fl
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



u outbreaks and doing surveillance applies this concept at a population level. Providing a flu
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



shot for an elderly person only addresses individual care. Keeping track of the use of alternati
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



ve therapies does nothing to prevent disease or promote health of the population.
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



Keeping snake antivenom is aimed at disease care for an individual, not health promotion or diseas
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr



e prevention.

ACCURATE ANSWER:-C xr



REASONING:-
>>>Assurance focuses on the responsibility of public health agencies to ensure certain activit xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
