What conclusion can be drawn from examining where nurses are employed?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nurses are increasingly employed in community settings as opposed to hospitals, reflecting a move toward community-based care rather than hospital-based tertiary care. This shift aligns with efforts to prevent disease and reduce costs, rather than focusing solely on acute care in centralized facilities.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Individual behavior choices are responsible for about 50% of health outcomes, influenced by social and physical environments, making them a major factor compared to the number or quality of providers and officials.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Average increased life span over the past 100 years can be largely attributed to higher standards of living, better nutrition, a healthier environment, and having fewer children. Public health efforts such as immunization and medical care have also contributed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Primary prevention aims to prevent a problem before it occurs. Education on sexuality and birth control directly addresses the prevention of future pregnancies, unlike the other options which focus on post-pregnancy support.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Intra-agency cooperation to meet community-wide health goals aligns directly with the public health agency’s mission, surpassing the impact of individual-focused or internal tasks.
