Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In the past, population-centered nurses have been called public health nurses (PHNs), district nurses, visiting nurses, school nurses, occupational health nurses, and home health nurses. Many women who performed nursing functions in almshouses and early hospitals in Great Britain were poorly educated, untrained, and often undependable. The original soldier nurses worked with Florence Nightingale at Scutari. Various groups of sisters have been used throughout history to care for the poor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
PHNs must move into positions in which they can influence policy formation. They must assume positions that are not traditionally considered nursing. Conducting community assessments is part of public health nursing practice, not necessarily a key opportunity to improve practice. Special-izing in community-based nursing practice is setting-specific and does not relate to a key oppor-tunity to improve population-focused care.
