A nurse is working as a faith community nurse. Which of the following best describes the em-phasis of the care that is being provided?
a. Referral to community resources
b. Health promotion
c. Primary care
d. Direct caregiving
ANS: C
Faith community nurses have found that health promotion services were needed for persons across the life span, particularly in underserved urban and rural areas. Nurses also found that congregants benefited from health counseling and health promotion services at all levels of pre-vention. Faith community nurse services emphasize health promotion and disease prevention and provided the benefits of holistic care through the supportive, caring faith community. Primary care and direct caregiving are not roles of the faith community nurse. A faith community nurse may refer a client to community resources, but that is not the focus of the care.
