Foundations for PopulationHealth in Community/Public
Health Nursing 6th Edition.
by Marcia Stanhope
1. In 1988, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a report on the future of public
health and its mission that defined public health as:
a. what public-private partnerships do to treat vulnerable populations.
b. what the government does to ensure that vital programs are in place.
c. what the U.S. Public Health Service does to prevent disease, promote health, and
deliver services.
d. what society does collectively to ensure the conditions in which people can be
healthy. - ANS:

population and community to ensure access to services that foster the health status of
the overall community through the equitable distribution of resources addressed to
community problems that affect health.
2. A registered nurse is seeking a position as a public health nurse. In reviewing the job
description, the nurse would expect to find a description of a position that focused on

b. offering free hypertension screening and treatment referral at local health fairs to
lowincome, uninsured, community members.
c. partnering with local seasonal farmworkers to design a program aimed at preventing
illness and injury, and advocating for this population with local political and
community leaders.
d. preventing injury among a population of elderly residents in an assisted living facility
and treating residents' chronic illnesses. - ANS: C
The scope of practice of public health nurses is population focused and community
oriented, with a primary emphasis on population-level interventions that target strategies
