Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5

The principles of global health have been described in various national and international documents, including the Global Health Strategy of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Strategic Plan 2010-2015. The underlying principles of global health include: using evidence-based knowledge to inform decisions; leveraging strengths through partnership and coordination; responding to local needs; building local capacities; ensuring a lasting, measurable impact, emphasizing prevention; and improving health equity. Income measurement is not a principle of global health.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Primary health care is an approach to health that includes a spectrum of services extending beyond the traditional health-care system. It encompasses all services that influence the determinants of health, such as income, housing, education, and the environment. Embedded within primary health care is primary care, which focuses on healthcare services and is a major component of nursing student studies, including health promotion, illness and injury prevention, and the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury. The five domains of primary health care articulated in the Declaration of Alma-Ata are accessibility and equitable distribution, community participation, health promotion, appropriate technology, and intersectoral collaboration. Teaching about medications for tuberculosis is the appropriate use of technology. Addressing water issues is intersectoral collaboration. Extending clinic hours supports accessibility and equitable distribution. Use of a free-lunch program supports health promotion.
