Answer 1

C
Population-based health care practice is the development, provision, and evaluation of
multidisciplinary health care services to population groups experiencing increased health risks or
disparities, in partnership with health care consumers and the community in order to improve the
health of the community and its diverse population groups. Population-focused nursing practice is
defined by nursing activities that focus on all of the people and reflects responsibility to and for the
people. Population-based nursing practice is defined as the practice of nursing in which the focus of
care is to improve the health status of vulnerable or at-risk population groups within the community by
employing health promotion and disease prevention interventions across the health continuum.
Population-based care requires active partnership of both providers and recipients of care.
