Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
PHNs are concerned with the health of the entire population. Priority is given to the entire popu-lation, not just the group at highest risk or those outside of institutional settings. Direct caregiv-ing is not the focus of public health nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Community-based nursing practice is a setting-specific practice whereby care is provided for families where they live, work, and attend school. The focus is on acute and chronic care and the provision of services. Providing care to families is the only intervention that accurately describes this definition. Assessing the health needs of a community, promoting the health needs of an en-tire community, and investigating environmental health problems in a community would be con-sidered public health nursing practice.
