  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.<\/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 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:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Test Bank Community and Public Health Nursing 10th Edition Rector 2
    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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. 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<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Test Bank Community and Public Health Nursing 10th Edition Rector 3
      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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. 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<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Test Bank Community and Public Health Nursing 10th Edition Rector 4
        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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. 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
        2. 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
