Question 1 of 5
Public health nursing is distinguished from other specialties by adherence to eightprinciples. Which is one of the eight domains of public health nursing practice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Policy development and individual planning skills. This is because public health nursing involves working at the population level to promote health and prevent disease. Policy development is crucial in shaping the environment to support health, and individual planning skills are necessary to provide personalized care within the broader public health context. Choice B is incorrect because public health nursing focuses on populations, not just individuals. Choice C is incorrect as financial planning and management are not specific to public health nursing practice. Choice D is incorrect because while leadership and critical thinking skills are important, they are not specific domains of public health nursing practice.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is coordinating a plan to bring vaccinations in a cost-effective way to a rural community that currently lacks access to them. This is an example of which public health intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Outreach. Outreach involves actively reaching out to underserved populations to provide services, such as vaccinations, in a cost-effective manner. The nurse is proactively addressing the lack of access to vaccinations in the rural community by bringing the services directly to them. Surveillance (A) involves monitoring health data, screening (C) involves testing individuals for a specific condition, and case management (D) involves coordinating care for individual patients, which are not directly related to the community-level intervention described in the scenario.
Question 3 of 5
Demographic characteristics indicate that people in developed countries are living longer, healthier lives, yet tremendous health and social disparities exist. Which describes social determinants of health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because social determinants of health refer to what society collectively does to create conditions for people to be healthy. This includes policies, programs, and social norms that influence health outcomes. Choice B focuses on the social conditions, which is a part of the broader concept but not the complete definition. Choice C refers to public health efforts and community health, which is related but not focused on the societal actions. Choice D describes health information management, which is not directly related to social determinants of health. In summary, A is correct as it best captures the essence of social determinants of health, while the other choices are either too narrow or unrelated to the concept.
