  1. After teaching a group of nursing students about the similarities and differencesbetween 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) \u201cCommunity health nursing is defined as nursing care that is provided in a community setting,
    rather than an institutional setting.\u201d
    B) \u201cPublic health nursing is defined as nursing care that is provided in an institutional setting.\u201d
    C) \u201cPublic health nursing is focused on the health of individuals.\u201d
    D) \u201cCommunity health nursing can shape the quality of community health services and improve
    the health of the general public.\u201d
    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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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 onspecific, 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Which of the following is most accurate about the concept of community?
    A) A community is a collection of peoplewho 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A group of students are reviewing material for a test onpopulations, 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 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Which of the following would a community health nurse identify as a communityof
    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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The nurse is working with a community of solution. Which of the following wouldthe
    nurse expect to find?
    A) A health problem affecting the group
    B) Common goal binding members together<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. 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 reflectsthe current focus of health care.
      Ans: B
      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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. 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<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
