PH Ch.22 Rural and Migrant HealthWhen determining whether a geographic area is rural or urban, the nurse should recognize that:
1. rural and urban areas, by relative nature, occur on a continuum.
2. rural regions have fewer than six persons per square mile.
3. rural residents feel isolated.
4. rural areas are recreational, retirement, or resort communities. - correct answer ✔✔Rural and urban
areas, by relative nature, occur on a continuum.
Rural and urban residencies are not opposing lifestyles. Rather, they are a rural-urban continuum ranging
from living on a remote farm, to a village or small town, to a larger town or city, and to a large
metropolitan area with a core inner city.
A nurse in community health is working in a rural setting. In planning for programs to address the
population's needs, the nurse should be aware that, in general, rural populations:
1. engage in physical activity during leisure time.
2. engage in preventive behaviors.
3. perceive their overall health as less favorable.
4. use seat belts. - correct answer ✔✔Perceive their overall health as less favorable.
In general, people in rural areas have a poorer perception of their overall health and functional status
than do urban residents. Rural residents older than 18 years assess their health status less favorably than
do urban residents. Studies show that rural adults are less likely to engage in preventive behavior, which
increases their exposure to risk.
When using the health measure of death rates for working-age adults, the nurse could expect to find the
highest rates in which areas?
1. large metropolitan areas.
2. most rural ad highly populated urban areas.
3. most rural and suburban areas.
4. small suburban and all urban areas. - correct answer ✔✔Most rural and highly populated urban areas.
Death rates for working-age adults are higher in the most rural and the most highly populated urban
areas. The highest death rates for children and young adults occur in the most rural counties. Residents
