A group of nursing students are researching governmental efforts to address health promotion-focused public health. Which legislation should the students identify as starting this change in providing care?
1. Hill-Burton Act.
2. Child Health Act.
3. Social Security Act.
4. Sheppard-Towner Act.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The Sheppard-Towner Act represented the first federal legislation that specifically targeted an aspect of population health, most notably maternal-child health. The Child Health Act was not passed until 1967 and recommended the use of nurses in extended roles. The Social Security Act did not originally focus on health promotion efforts. The Hill-Burton Act, passed after World War II, focused on the building of hospitals rather than population health.
