, Chapter 1- Public Health Nursing -Present, Past And Future
1. A Nurse Is Striving To Practice Patient-Centered Care At A Hospital. Which
Action Best Exemplifies Providing Patient-Centered Care?
A) Having A Client Complete A Self-Reported Functional Status Indicator
And Then Reviewing It With The Client
B) Explaining To A Client The Benefits Of Computer-Assisted Robotic
Surgical Techniques, Which The Hospital Recently Implemented
C) Recording A Client's Signs And Symptoms In An Electronic Health Record
D) Performing Continuous Glucose Monitoring Of A Client While The Client Is
In The Hospital
Ans: A
Feedback:
Patient-Centered Care Considers Cultural Traditions, Personal Preferences, Values,
Families, And Lifestyles. Clients Become Active Participants In Their Own Care, And
Monitoring Health Becomes The Client's Responsibility. To Help Clients And Their
Healthcare Providers Make Better Decisions, The Agency For Healthcare Research
And Quality (Ahrq) Has Developed A Series Of Tools That Empower Clients And
Assist Providers In Achieving Desired Outcomes, Including Client-Reported
Functional Status Indicators. Computer-Assisted Robotic Surgical Techniques,
Electronic Health Records, And Continuous Glucose Monitoring In The Hospital Are
All Technological Advances In Healthcare, But They Do Not Help The Client Become
A More Active Participant In His Or Her Care, And Thus Are Not Good Examples Of
Patient-Centered Care.

2. A Nurse Is Caring For An Older Client Who Is Struggling To Manage Her Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus. The Nurse Should Recognize Which Social Determinants Of This
Client's Health? (Select All That Apply.)
A) Household Income Of $23,000 Per Year
B) Reading Level Of A Third Grader
C) Medication Ineffective Due To Error In Prescription
D) Originally From Sudan
E) No Family In The
Area Ans: A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The Social Conditions In Which People Live, Their Income, Social Status, Education,
Literacy, Home And Work Environment, Support Networks, Gender, Culture, And
Availability Of Health Services Are The Social Determinants Of Health. These
Conditions Have An Impact On The Extent To Which A Person Or Community
Possesses The Physical, Social, And Personal Resources Necessary To Attain And
Maintain Health. A Medical Error On The Part Of The Client's Primary Care Provider
Or Nurse Would Not Constitute A Social Determinant Of The Client's Health.

3. A Nurse Successfully Persuades An Obese Client To Perform A Weekly Weigh-In At
Home Using A Digital Scale And Record The Weight In A Log. This Strategy Is An
Example Of:
A) Telehealth
B) Health Information Technology
C) Personal Responsibility For Health
D) Evidence-Based
Nursing Ans: C
Feedback:
Personal Responsibility For Health Involves Active Participation In One's Own Health
Through Education And Lifestyle Changes. In This Case, The Client Makes A Positive
Change In Lifestyle By Monitoring Body Weight Weekly. Telehealth Is The Use Of
Electronic Information And Telecommunications Technologies To Support Long-
Distance Clinical Healthcare, Client And Professional Health-Related Education,
Public Health, And Health Administration. Health Information Technology (Hit) Is
Defined As The Comprehensive Management Of Health Information And Its Exchange
Between Consumers, Providers, Government, And Insurers In A Secure Manner.
Evidence-Based Nursing Is The Integration Of The Best Evidence Available With
Clinical Expertise And The Values Of The Client To Increase The Quality Of Care.
Origin: Chapter 1- Public Health Nursing, 4
4. A Nurse Performs A Variety Of Tasks As Part Of The Nurse's Position At A
Hospital. Which Task Best Exemplifies Public Health?
A) Reading Current Nursing Journals And Integrating The Latest Research Into
Daily Practice
B) Instructing A Client On How To Best Care For A Suture Site At Home
C) Participating In A Videoconference Call With A Client Who Lives In A Remote
Area
D) Facilitating A Community-Wide Smoking Cessation Program One Month Out
Of The Year
Ans: D
Feedback:
Public Health Is What Society Does Collectively To Ensure The Conditions Exist In
Which People Can Be Healthy. A Community-Wide Smoking Cessation Program Is A
Great Example Of A Public Health Intervention, In That It Involves The Collective
Effort Of Society To Improve The Health Of Its Members. Reading And Applying The
Latest Nursing Research Is An Example Of Evidence-Based Nursing. Instructing A
Client On How To Best Care For A Suture Site At Home Is An Example Of Personal
Responsibility For Health, But It Is Not Focused On The Health Of The Greater
Community. Participating In A Videoconference Call With A Client Who Lives In A
Remote Area Is An Example Of Patient-Centered Care And Of An Effective
Implementation Of Technology, But It Is Not Particularly Related To Public Health.
