The cornerstones of public health nursing practice:
 
  1. Focus on the health of entire populations
  2. Reflect community priorities and needs
  3. Promote health through strategies driven by epidemiological evidence
  4. Encompass the mental, physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental aspects of health.

Question 2

Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is still largely a hospital-acquired infection. Community health nurses should know:
 
  1. Persons with MRSA usually have a chronic illness.
  2. MRSA is still a nosocomial (health-care acquired) infection and not often seen in the community.
  3. VRE (Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) follows MRSA.
  4. MRSA is becoming more common in the community, especially in school athletic programs and prison populations.
