The population health nurse is comparing global health with international health for a group of community members. What should the nurse use as an example of global health?
1. Peace Corps volunteers working in a Third World country helping to improve water quality in local villages.
2. Rotary volunteers working in Nigeria to immunize children against polio.
3. Doctors without Borders providing health care to war-torn areas in Indonesia.
4. The World Bank providing funding grants to Middle Eastern countries to improve their health infrastructure.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. The World Bank is a multilateral agency that provides funding and technical assistance to countries. Improving a region's health infrastructure in individual countries is an example of global health where multinational efforts address health problems that cross national borders. Peace Corps volunteers working in a Third World country are helping a specific country, as are the Rotary volunteers and Doctors without Borders. These are international health efforts.
