The nurse is interested in learning more about global health issues. Which areas of nursing should the nurse focus when studying these issues? (Select all that apply.)
1. Telehealth
2. Home health
3. Public health
4. Primary health
5. International health
Correct Answer: 3, 5
Global health emerged from the fields of international health and public health. The focus and purpose of global health are more expansive than either of these and encompass broader goals for the achievement of health for all. International health addresses health issues that occur in another country, with bilateral cooperation with the goal of helping other nations. International health embraces a few disciplines with the goal of providing health care to populations in another country. Public health addresses health issues of access and equity within one country and focuses on specific communities, being only occasionally concerned with health issues in other countries. Telehealth, home health, and primary health are not identified as contributing to the development of global health.
