PHNs are looking to improve population-focused care in the community. Which of the following best describes a key opportunity for the nurses to accomplish this goal?
a. Assuming traditional nursing roles
b. Influencing public health policy
c. Conducting community assessments
d. Specializing in community-based nursing practice
ANS: B
PHNs must move into positions in which they can influence policy formation. They must assume positions that are not traditionally considered nursing. Conducting community assessments is part of public health nursing practice, not necessarily a key opportunity to improve practice. Special-izing in community-based nursing practice is setting-specific and does not relate to a key oppor-tunity to improve population-focused care.
