Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Social marketing is a population health nursing intervention that applies commercial marketing technologies to the analysis, planning, execution, and evaluation of programs designed to influence the voluntary behavior of target audiences to improve their personal welfare or that of their society. Social marketing is consumer focused in that it is tailored to the needs and characteristics of a specific target population and is designed to address societal problems at the population level. The best approach would be for the nurse to create a display to be posted during the community health fair which explains the benefits of having a bicycle lane. Determining the number of community members who use bicycles for transportation does not support the goal of increasing physical activity by community members. Conducting a telephone survey of community members asking for support of a bicycle lane does not identify barriers or identify perceived benefits. Approaching elected officials to discuss a bicycle lane during the next meeting does not gain the community's support for the change.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Health promotion entails activities designed to foster a healthy lifestyle and develop a state of good health in the population. This includes advocacy for access to healthy foods, designed to foster good nutrition as a health promoting strategy. The resolution level of health care is eliminating an existing health problem. At this level, a health problem has already occurred and population health nursing interventions are directed toward its solution and preventing further serious consequences. An example of this would be screening for scoliosis. Restoration, or rehabilitation, involves activities designed to assist the client's or population's return to a prior state of good health and functional ability. Rebuilding damaged buildings and highways would constitute restoration. An example of this would be examining the quality of pool repairs made after a recent landslide. Prevention involves strategies aimed at preventing the occurrence of specific health problems such as safety equipment for sports activities.
