1. Which of the following best describes community-based nursing?
a. A practice in which care is provided for individuals and families
b. Providing care with a focus on the group’s needs
c.Giving care with a focus on the aggregate’s needs
d. A value system in which all clients receive
optimal care ANS: A
By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in which care is provided for “sick”
individuals and families where they live, work, and attend school. The emphasis is on acute and chronic care
and the provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care. These nurses may be generalists or
specialists in maternal–infant, pediatric, adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based
nursing emphasizes acute and chronic care to individuals and families, rather than focusing on groups,
aggregates, or systems.
2. Which of the following best describes community-oriented
nursing?
a. Focusing on the provision of care to individuals and
families
b. Providing care to manage acute or chronic conditions
c.Giving direct care to ill individuals within their family setting
d. Having the goal of health promotion and disease
prevention ANS: D
By definition, community-oriented nursing has the goal of preserving, protecting, or maintaining health and
preventing disease to promote the quality of life. All nurses may focus on individuals and families, give
direct care to ill persons within their family setting, and help manage acute or chronic conditions. These

definitions are not specific to community-oriented nursing.
3. Which of the following is the primary focus of public health nursing?
a. Families and groups
b. Illness-oriented care
c.Individuals within the family unit
d. Health care of communities and
populations ANS: D
In public health nursing the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations rather than
on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve, promote, restore, and
protect health for the community and the population within it. Community-based nurses deal primarily with
illness-oriented care of individuals and families across the life span. The aim is to manage acute and
chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus of practice is on individual or family-centered
illness care.
4. Which of the following is responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the 20th century?
a. Technology increases in the field of medical laboratory research
b. Advances in surgical techniques and procedures
c.Sanitation and other population-based prevention programs
d. Use of antibiotics to fight
infections ANS: C
Improvements in control of infectious diseases through immunizations, sanitation, and other population-
based prevention programs led to the increase in life expectancy from less than 50 years in 1900 to more
than 78 years in 2013. Although people are excited when a new drug is discovered that cures a disease or
when a new way to transplant organs is perfected, it is important to know about the significant gains in the
health of populations that have come largely from public health accomplishments.
5. A nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community.
, NURS 4150 CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+ SUCCESS GUARANTEED
Which of the following interventions would most likely be implemented by the nurse?
a. Increase the community’s knowledge about hospice care.
b. Promote healthy lifestyle behavior choices among the community members.
c.Encourage employers to have wellness centers at each industrial site.
d. Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment for
community members. ANS: B
Public health approaches could help prevent premature deaths by influencing the way people eat, drink,
drive, engage in exercise, and treat the environment. Increasing knowledge of hospice care, encouraging on-
site wellness centers, andensuring timely treatment of medical conditions do not address the focus of
improving overall health through health promotion strategies. This is the major method that is suggested to
decrease the incidence of premature death.
6. Which of the following is a basic assumption of public health efforts?
a. Health disparities among any groups are morally and legally wrong.
b. Health care is the most important priority in government planning and funding.
c.The health of individuals cannot be separated from the health of the community.
d. The government is responsible for lengthening the life span
of Americans. ANS: C
Public health practice focuses on the community as a whole, and the effect of the community’s health
status (resources) on the health of individuals, families, and groups. The goal is to prevent disease and
disability and promote and protect the health of the community as a whole. Public health can be described
as what society collectively does to ensure that conditions exist in which people can be healthy. The basic
assumptions of public health do not judge the morality of health disparities. The focus is on prevention of
illness not on spending more on illness care. Additionally, individual responsibility for making healthy
choices is the directive for lengthening life span not the role of the government.
7. Which of the following actions would most likely be performed by a public health nurse?
, NURS 4150 CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+ SUCCESS GUARANTEED
a. Asking community leaders what interventions should be chosen
b. Assessing the community and deciding on appropriate interventions
c.Using data from the main health care institutions in the community to determine needed health services
d. Working with community groups to create policies to improve
the environment ANS: D
Although the public health nurse might engage in any of the tasks listed, he or she works primarily with
members of the community to carry out core public health functions, including assessment of the
population as a whole and engaging in promoting health and improving the environment. The interventions
of asking community leaders which interventions should be chosen, assessing the community and deciding
on appropriate interventions, and using data from health care institutions do not demonstrate the
engagement of the community when making decisions about what the community actually wants and
needs.
8. Which of the following public health nurses most clearly fulfills the responsibilities of this role?
a. The nurse who met with several groups to discuss community recreation issues
b. The nurse who spent the day attending meetings of various health agencies
c.The nurse who talked to several people about their particular health concerns
d. The nurse who watched the city council meeting on local
cable television ANS: B
Any of these descriptions might represent a nurse communicating, cooperating, or collaborating with
community residents or groups about health concerns. However, the nurse who spent the day attending
meetings of various health agencies is the most representative, because in public health, concerns are
addressed from a broader perspective. In public health, broad concerns of the community should be
addressed. Concerns are broader than recreation, individual concerns are not as important as aggregate
priorities, and watching television (a one-way form of communication) is less effective than interacting
with others.
