Part 1: Influencing Factors in Public Health Nursing and Population Health 1. Public Health Foundations and Population Health 2. Histo...
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 to public 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 cause the health care system to collapse.
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 would be 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
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.

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 Institute of Medicine when planning its health
programming. Which of the following activities will most likely be
implemented?
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 avian flu 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 or disease
prevention.

, 6.A public health department makes sure that the essential
community-oriented health services are available in the community.
Which of the following core public health functions is being
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.
