Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
It is important for nurses to study global health in order to identify the relevance of global health concepts to nurses' practice in their local communities, to gain a better understanding of progress that has already been made in addressing global health problems, and to identify the global health challenges that remain to be addressed and how to address them most effectively. Knowledge of global health issues is not supported to encourage nurses to migrate to other countries to address ongoing health issues.
