a. Administrating a flu shot to a client in a physician's office
b. Conducting a flu shot clinic at a commu-nity center
c. Performing a client assessment in a hospi-tal
d. Providing supervision of staff in a rehabil-itation center
ANS: A
Community health nursing practice focuses on the health of individuals, families, and groups and the effect of their health status on the health of the community as a whole. Administrating a flu shot to an individual is the only example that meets this criterion. Performing a client assessment focuses only on individual care and not the community. Providing supervision of staff does not focus on the community. Conducting a flu shot clinic at a community center focuses on protect-ing the community as a whole and would be considered public health nursing practice.
