Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Terrorist threats and governmental focus on terrorism may serve to detract attention to overall population health. Population health nursing efforts will be focused on maintaining a balance between terrorist threats and safeguarding population health. Smallpox was eradicated in 1977, so international efforts are not geared toward this aspect of global health. DRGs emphasize prospective payment. Surveillance of the CDC focuses on diseases that affect population health, not population health nursing practice.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Healthy People is the most current policy of the U.S. government to address improving the population health and targets population health nursing practice. The Lalonde Report addressed Canadian population health. The Future of Public Health is a document of the Institute of Medicine, which impacts population health but is not the national health policy. The Declaration of Alma Alta is an international document addressing primary health care.
