The population health nurse becomes politically involved in supporting a bill that is being debated in the state legislature. This bill would raise the minimum wage in the state and offer programs for reemployment in other job sectors. This is considered:
 
  1. Health promotion.
  2. Disease prevention
  3. Health restoration.
  4. Injury prevention.

Question 2

The population health nurse is working with a runaway adolescent who has been living in a local shelter. The nurse and the adolescent have explored the possibility of the adolescent returning home, and the adolescent is amenable.
 
  The population health nurse is working with a runaway adolescent who has been living in a local shelter. The nurse and the adolescent have explored the possibility of the adolescent returning home, and the adolescent is amenable. The most appropriate nursing intervention is to:
  1. Contact the family and arrange for a time when the adolescent can return.
  2. Work with the shelter to improve conditions for adolescent residents.
  3. Work with the community to improve programs that address adolescent concerns.
  4. Arrange for counseling for the adolescent and family before and after the adolescent returns.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Health restoration strategies may be aimed at preventing a recurrence of poverty and homelessness for individuals, families, or groups of people affected. The emphasis may be placed on preventing the recurrence of health and social problems that result from conditions of poverty and homelessness. Population health nursing involvement in health restoration may entail political activity to ensure the provision of services to relieve poverty and homelessness on a long-term basis. This means involvement by nurses in efforts to raise minimum wages. Prevention strategies for poor and homeless individuals and populations occur at two levels: prevention of poverty and/or homelessness, and prevention of illness and injury among poor and homeless individuals and populations. Health promotion seeks to maintain an overall good level of health.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. When an adolescent runs away, it is important to ascertain the reasons for running away. Interventions are then directed to modifying factors that led to the adolescent running away. Counseling can be arranged for the adolescent and family to explore and help ameliorate the factors contributing to the adolescent running away. Contacting the family and arranging for the return does not address what caused the adolescent to run away in the first place. Working with the shelter to improve conditions for adolescent residents and working with the community to improve programs are appropriate prevention interventions but are not the most appropriate in this situation.
