Feedback:
In this textbook, community health practice refers to a focus on specific, designated communities. It
er
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

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. Right Answer: 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.
