| Feedback: | ||
| Although the correctional system of prisons and jails has been around for a very long time, it historically provided minimal, if any, health care to inmates. Prison was a punishment, and the inmates were viewed as not deserving of care that was being paid for from public dollars. Communicable diseases were and continue to be a major health issue. | ||
| 2. | A nurse is considering a career in public health nursing. The nurse determines the need to obtain which of the following for entry-level practice? | |
| A) | Associate’s degree in nursing | |
| B) | Bachelor’s degree in nursing | |
| C) | Master’s degree in nursing | |
| D) | Post-master’s degree certification | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The American Nurses Association recommends that an entry-level PHN should have a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Some states, such as California, require nurses to take additional classes and obtain certification beyond a bachelor’s degree if the BSN program does not offer specific content (e.g., child abuse, public health didactic and practicum). PHNs working with specific populations, or in administration, should hold a master’s degree. A PHN with a master’s degree in community/public health nursing may take a national certification examination offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. | ||

| D) | Community commitment | |

| D) | Working with officials to develop a program for solving a problem | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The public health function of assessment is reflected when a public health nurse identifies the problems in a community and then prioritizes which issue to address first by deciding which issue impacts the most people and what interventions will help the population thrive. Evaluating for potential safety hazards and ensuring proper immunizations reflect the assurance function of public health. Working with officials to develop programs reflects the function of policy development. | ||
