Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The baccalaureate degree in nursing is the educational credential required for entry into public health nursing practice. Master's level education, with specific expertise in population-focused care, is required for advanced practice or specialist practice. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses with a diploma or associate's degree may appropriately practice in community settings where care is directed toward the health or illness of individual clients or families rather than populations. A doctorate degree in nursing may be required for academic and research positions associated with public health nursing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Social determinants of health are the social conditions in which people live and work. Health information technology is the comprehensive management of health information and its secure exchange between consumers, providers, government and quality entities, and insurers. Public health is what society does collectively to ensure the conditions exist in which people can be healthy. Public health nursing is a population-based practice, defined as a synthesis of nursing and public health within the context of preventing disease and disability and promoting and protecting the health of the entire community.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
