a. A practice in WHICH care is provided for individuals and families.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. Providing care with a focus on the group‘s needs. ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate‘s needs. ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
d. A value system in WHICH all clients receive optimal care.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j A
By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in WHICH care is provided for ―sick‖
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
where they live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provision of
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
coordinated, and continuous care. These Nurses may be generalists or specialists in maternal–infant, ped
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
mental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to individuals and
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
focusing on groups, aggregates, or systems.
ij ij ij ij ij ij
2. WHICH statement best describes the goal of community-oriented nursing?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Providing care to individuals and families ij ij ij ij ij
b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
c. Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
d. To preserve, protect, promote, or maintain health and prevent disease
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining health and
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
promote the quality of life. All Nurses may focus on individuals and families, give direct care to ill perso
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to community-or
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
3. WHICH of the Following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Families and groups ij ij
b. Illness-oriented care ij
c. Individuals within the family unit ij ij ij ij
d. Health care of communities and populations ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j D
In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather tha
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
Community-based Nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and families across the
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
manage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is on individual
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
family-centered illness care. ij ij
4. WHICH of the Following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th centu
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures ij ij ij ij ij
c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs ij ij ij ij ij
d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j C
There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and programs were p
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
increasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to 78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60% in
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij i
improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4) improving food
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people are excited
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
discovered that cures a disease or when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
the health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
5. A Nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community. WHICH of the F
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
interventions would most likely be implemented by the Nurse?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Provide free health care to all citizens ij ij ij ij ij ij
, 6. What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health efforts?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong. ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding. ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j C
The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be entirely separa
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
larger community. Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the com
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
(resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability a
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as what society collectively does to e
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
WHICH people can be healthy. The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for ma
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
7. WHICH of the Following actions would most likely be performed by a public health Nurse?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determineij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
needed health services
ij ij ij
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j D
Although the public health Nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily with
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij i
to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the population as a whole and engaging
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
improving the environment. The interventions of asking community leaders WHICH interventions shou
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
community and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij i
of the community when making decisions about what the community actually wants and needs.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
8. WHICH public health Nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. The Nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. The Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
c. The Nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
d. The Nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
ANS i j B
Any of these descriptions might represent a Nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with co
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
about health concerns. A major challenge for the future is the need for public health nursing specialists t
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
working collaboratively with various groups in the community as well as professional colleagues in inst
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
barriers to health. However, the Nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies i
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad conc
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as important as aggr
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective than interacting with others.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
9. WHICH of the Following best defines aggregate? ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. A large group of persons ij ij ij ij
b. A collection of individuals and families
ij ij ij ij ij
c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
d. Another name for demographic group ij ij ij ij
ANS i j C
An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or environmental characte
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
community can be defined in terms of either geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state) or
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
children attending a particular school). These members make up a population. The term population may be
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
the term aggregate. A large group of persons, a collection of individuals and families, and another name
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
not accurate definitions of the term aggregate.
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
10. WHICH question asked by a novice Nurse would be the most reflective of an understanding of the role of
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
a. ―WHICH groups are at the greatest risk for problems?‖ ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
b. ―WHICH patients should I see first as I begin my day?‖ ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
