A practice in which care is provided for individuals and families.<br>b. Providing care with a focus on the group\u2019s needs.<br>c. Giving care with a focus on the aggregate\u2019s needs.<br>d. A value system in which all clients receive optimal care.<br>ANS: A<br>By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in which care is<br>provided for \u201csick\u201d individuals and families where they live, work, and attend school. The<br>emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and<br>continuous care. These nurses may be generalists or specialists in maternal\u2013infant, pediatric,<br>adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes acute and<br>chronic care to individuals and families, rather than focusing on groups, aggregates, or<br>systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which statement best describes the goal of community-oriented nursing?<br>a. Providing care to individuals and families<br>b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions<br>c. Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting<br>d. To preserve, protect, promote, or maintain health and prevent disease<br>ANS: D<br>By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or<br>maintaining health and preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All nurses may focus<br>on individuals and families, give direct care to ill persons within their family setting, and help<br>manage acute or chronic conditions. These definitions are not specific to community-oriented<br>nursing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?<br>a. Families and groups<br>b. Illness-oriented care<br>c. Individuals within the family unit<br>d. Health care of communities and populations<br>ANS: D<br>In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and<br>populations rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and<br>preserve, promote, restore, and protect health for the community and the population within it.<br>Community-based nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and families<br>across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic health conditions in the<br>community, and the focus of practice is on individual or family-centered illness care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the<br>20th century?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research<br>b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures<br>c. Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs<br>d. Use of antibiotics to fight infections<br>ANS: C<br>There has to be indisputable evidence collected over time that public health policies and<br>programs were primarily responsible for increasing the average life span from 47 in 1900 to<br>78.6 years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60% in just over a century plus through<br>improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4)<br>improving food and drug safety, (5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition,<br>hygiene, and housing. Although people are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a<br>disease or when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know about the<br>significant gains in the health of populations that have come largely from public health<br>accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>A nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community.<br>Which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented by the nurse?<br>a. Provide free health care to all citizens<br>b. To increase the number of individuals with access to effective health care benefits<br>c. Lower the cost of health care to the American population<br>d. To lessen the governmental burden of providing health care to Americans<br>ANS: B<br>The central feature in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 are the<br>mechanisms to increase the number of people with health insurance. The care provided is not<br>necessarily free. While the cost of health care and the burden it places on the American<br>government are serious concerns, they are not the primary focus of ACA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the basic assumption stated by Healthy People 2010 as it relates to public health<br>efforts?<br>a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.<br>b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.<br>c. The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.<br>d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span of Americans.<br>ANS: C<br>The major premise of Healthy People 2010 was that the health of the individual cannot be<br>entirely separate from the health of the larger community. Public health practice focuses on<br>the community as a whole, and the effect of the community\u2019s health status (resources) on the<br>health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and disability and<br>promote and protect the health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described as<br>what society collectively does to ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy.<br>The basic assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The<br>focus is on prevention of illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual<br>responsibility for making healthy choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role<br>of the government.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nurse?<br>a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen<br>b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>c. Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine<br>needed health services<br>d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve the environment<br>ANS: D<br>Although the public health nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works<br>primarily with members of the community to carry out core public health functions, including<br>assessment of the population as a whole and engaging in promoting health and improving the<br>environment. The interventions of asking community leaders which interventions should be<br>chosen, assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions, and using data<br>from health care institutions do not demonstrate the engagement of the community when<br>making decisions about what the community actually wants and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\">\n<li>Which public health nurse most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?<br>a. The nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues<br>b. The nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies<br>c. The nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns<br>d. The nurse who watched the city council meeting on local cable television<br>ANS: B<br>Any of these descriptions might represent a nurse communicating, cooperating, or<br>collaborating with community residents or groups about health concerns. A major challenge<br>for the future is the need for public health nursing specialists to be more aggressive in<br>working collaboratively with various groups in the community as well as professional<br>colleagues in institutional settings to deal with barriers to health. However, the nurse who<br>spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies is the most representative,<br>because in public health, concerns are addressed from a broader perspective. In public health,<br>broad concerns of the community should be addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation,<br>individual concerns are not as important as aggregate priorities, and watching television (a<br>one-way form of communication) is less effective than interacting with others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following best defines aggregate?<br>a. A large group of persons<br>b. A collection of individuals and families<br>c. A collection of people who share one or more characteristics<br>d. Another name for demographic group<br>ANS: C<br>An aggregate is defined a collection of people who share one or more personal or<br>environmental characteristics. Members of a community can be defined in terms of either<br>geography (e.g., a county, a group of counties, or a state) or a special interest (e.g., children<br>attending a particular school). These members make up a population. The term population<br>may be used interchangeably with the term aggregate. A large group of persons, a collection<br>of individuals and families, and another name for demographic group are not accurate<br>definitions of the term aggregate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which question asked by a novice nurse would be the most reflective of an understanding of<br>the role of a public health nurse?<br>a. \u201cWhich groups are at the greatest risk for problems?\u201d<br>b. \u201cWhich patients should I see first as I begin my day?\u201d<br>c. \u201cWith which physicians will I be most closely collaborating?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>d. \u201cWith which nursing assistants will I partner the most?\u201d<br>ANS: A<br>Asking which groups are at greatest risk reflects a community-oriented perspective. The<br>incorrect responses reflect a focus on individuals rather than a community-oriented<br>perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"11\">\n<li>Making sure that essential community-oriented health services are available defines which of<br>the core public health functions?<br>a. Policy development<br>b. Assessment<br>c. Assurance<br>d. Scientific knowledge-based care<br>ANS: C<br>Assurance includes making sure that essential community-oriented health services are<br>available in the community. The definition does not fit the terms assessment, policy<br>development. Scientific knowledge-based care is not a core function of public health.<br>Assessment is systematic data collection on the population, monitoring the population\u2019s health<br>status, and making information available about the health of the community. Policy<br>development refers to efforts to develop policies that support the health of the population,<br>including using a scientific knowledge base to make policy decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When talking to a women\u2019s group at the senior citizens\u2019 center, the nurse reminded them that<br>the only way the center would be able to afford to provide transportation services for them<br>would be for them to continue to write letters to their local city council representatives<br>requesting funding for such a service. What was the nurse trying to accomplish through this<br>action?<br>a. Ensure that the women did not expect the nurse to solve their problem.<br>b. Demonstrate that the nurse understood the women\u2019s concerns and needs.<br>c. Express empathy, support, and concern.<br>d. Help the women engage in political action.<br>ANS: D<br>Public health nurses engage themselves and others in policy development and encourage and<br>assist persons to communicate their needs to those with the power to take action. The nurse is<br>demonstrating the role of advocate through this action, it goes beyond merely understanding<br>the women\u2019s concern, and instead mobilizes them to take action. This action does not<br>demonstrate the nurse showing empathy rather the nurse is empowering these women.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The public health nurse has a clear vision of what needs to be done and where to begin to<br>improve the health of the community. Why would the nurse spend time meeting with<br>community groups to discuss the most important task to be addressed first?<br>a. To increase the group\u2019s self-esteem<br>b. To maintain communication links with the groups<br>c. To make the groups feel good about their contribution<br>d. To work with the groups, not for the groups<br>ANS: D<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foundations for Population Health in Community Public Health Nursing6th Edition Stanhope Test BankChapter 01: Public Health Nursing and Population HealthStanhope: Foundations for Population Health in Community\/Public Health Nursing,6th EditionMULTIPLE CHOICE a.
