A large community clinic provides health education, illness prevention, acute care, screening, and rehabilitation and health promotion services for the chronically ill
In assessing the type of approach this represents, the community health nurse would identify this as which of the following?
1. Community-based setting
2. Integrated health care system
3. Wellness center
4. Community outreach center
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: An integrated health care system makes all levels of care available in an integrated form, including primary care (education and illness prevention), secondary care (acute care and screening), and tertiary care (rehabilitation and services for the chronically ill). Community-based settings are provided in county and state health departments and may include day-care centers, senior centers, storefront clinics, homeless shelters, and the like. A wellness center provides services such as health promotion, maintenance education, counseling, and screening. Community outreach centers are small, freestanding clinics providing services similar to those traditionally provided by large public health clinics, but focused on a narrower population.
