COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING 10TH
EDITION RECTOR TEST BANK
Chapter 1 The Journey Begins: Introduction
1. After teaching a group of nursing students about the similarities and differences between
public health and community health, which of the following statements by a nursing student
would indicate knowledge of the similarities and differences between public health and
community health?
A) “Community health nursing is defined as
nursing care that is provided in a community setting, rather than an institutional setting.”
B) “Public health nursing is defined as nursing care that is provided in an institutional
setting.”
C) “Public health nursing is focused on the
health of individuals.”
D) “Community health nursing can shape the quality of community health services and
improve the health of the general public.”
Ans: D
Feedback:
Operating within an environment of rapid change and increasingly complex challenges,
this nursing specialty holds the potential to shape the quality of community health services and
improve the health of the general
public.
2. Which of the following statements would best
describe the difference between public health nursing and community health nursing?
A) Public health nursing is focused on the private aspects of health, and community health
nursing is focused on the public aspects of
health.
B) In our textbook, the term community health practice refers to a focus on specific,
designated communities and is a part of the
larger public health effort.
C) Public health nursing and community health nursing relate to the very same types of
services and perspectives.
D) Both public health nursing and community health nursing are practiced exclusively
within institutions.
Ans: B
Feedback:

In this textbook, community health practice refers to a focus on specific, designated
communities. It is a part of the larger public health effort and recognizes the fundamental
concepts and principles of public health as its birthright and foundation for practice. Public
health nursing is focused on the public aspects of health. Public health nursing and community
health nursing have distinctive types of services and perspectives. Neither public health nursing
nor community health nursing is practiced exclusively within
institutions.
3. Which of the following is most accurate about
the concept of community?
A) A community is a collection of people who
share some important features of their lives.
B) Community members live in the same
geographic location.
C) Community members are biologically related.
D) A community is made up of people who do not necessarily interact with one another and
do not necessarily share a sense of belonging
to that group.
Ans: A
Feedback:
The broad definition of a community is a collection of people who share some important
features of their lives. Community members may not live in the same geographic location as in a
common-interest community or a community of solution. A population is made up of people
who do not necessarily interact with one another and do not necessarily share a sense of
belonging to that
group.
4. A group of students are reviewing material for a test on populations, communities, and
aggregates. Which of the following indicates
that the students understand these concepts?
A) Members of a population share a sense of
belonging.
B) Communities and populations are types of
aggregates.
C) Individuals of a community are loosely
connected.
D) Members of an aggregate share a strong bond.
Ans: B
Feedback:
An aggregate refers to a mass of grouping of distinct individuals who are considered as a
whole and who are loosely associated with one another. Communities and populations are types
of aggregates. A population is made up of people who do not necessarily interact with one
another and do not necessarily share a sense of belonging to the group. A community is a
, lO MoARc PSD| 27929433
collection of people who chose to interact with one another because of common interests,
characteristics, or goals, which form the basis for a sense of unity or
belonging.
5. Which of the following would a community health nurse identify as a community of
common interest?
A) The global community
B) Small rural town in a northern state
C) National professional organization
D) Counties addressing water pollution
Ans: C
Feedback:
A common-interest community shares a common interest or goal that binds the members
together. Membership in a national professional organization is one example. The global
community and a small rural town in a northern state would be examples of a geographic
community. Counties addressing a water pollution problem would be an example
of a community of solution.
6. The nurse is working with a community of solution. Which of the following would the
nurse expect to find?
A) A health problem affecting the group
B) Common goal binding members together
C) Sharing of a similar goal
D) Locational boundaries
Ans: A
Feedback:
A community of solution involves a group of people coming together to solve a problem
that affects them. A common-interest community involves a collection of people widely
scattered geographically who have an interest or goal that binds the members together. A
geographical community is one defined by its geographical or locational
boundaries.
7. Which one of the following statements made by a student would the nurse educator
recognize as evidence that a student
understands the health continuum?
A) The distinction between health and illness is
well demarcated.
B) Illness refers to a state of being relatively
unhealthy.
C) The term health is limited to reflect an
individual's state.
D) Treatment of acute conditions reflects the
current focus of health care.
Ans: B
, lO MoARc PSD| 27929433
Feedback:
Although society typically depicts an absolute line of difference between being either
well or ill, health is considered a relative term. Thus, illness is viewed as a state of being
relatively unhealthy. Health is typically described as a continuum that involves a range of
degrees from optimal health at one end to total disability or death at the other. The line of
demarcation is not clear. Health applies to individuals, families, and communities.
Traditionally, most health care has focused on the treatment of acute and chronic conditions at
the illness end of the continuum, but this emphasis is shifting to focus on the wellness
end.
8. When discussing the concept of the health continuum with a class, the nurse educator
would be certain to include which statement
in the description?
A) Wellness is a relative concept, not an absolute, and illness is a state of being
relatively unhealthy.
B) A client's placement on the health continuum
is static throughout time.
C) Health is best described as cyclic.
D) The health continuum can only be applied to
individuals.
Ans: A
Feedback:
Wellness is a relative concept, not an absolute, and illness is a state of being relatively
unhealthy. The continuum can change. Because health involves a range of degrees from optimal
health at one end to total disability or death at the other, it is often described as a continuum. The
health continuum applies not only to individuals but
also to families and communities.
9. After discussing the leading health indicators with a class, which condition if stated by
the class as one of these indicators suggests that
the class has understood the information?
A) Cardiac disease
B) Mental health
C) Sedentary lifestyle
D) Maternal health care
Ans: B
Feedback:
Mental health is a leading health indicator. Other leading health indicators include
physical activity, overweight and obesity, tobacco use, substance use, responsible sexual
behavior, injury and violence, environmental quality, immunization, and access to health
care.
