The nurse holds community forums to gain input in determining the health needs for the community. Issues raised the forum focus on the need for nutrition education, but the nurse notices that many community members are outside smoking before entering the building. The nurse acknowledges the importance of nutrition education, but addresses the incorporation of smoking cessation education as part of a total lifestyle choice program. Which type of nursing is the nurse implementing?
a. Public health nursing.
b. Community-driven nursing.
c. Population-focused nursing.
d. Community-focused nursing.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The nurse gained input from the community as to their concerns, but also noted that a health concern was smoking. This is population-focused in that it incorporates other population health issues based on the nurse's assessment and are not focused solely on the community's concerns. Community-driven care focuses on the needs of the community as a whole and emphasizes community participation in determining those needs. Community-focused nursing is defined as the bringing of nursing knowledge and expertise to the community but such care may not have a population focus. Public health nursing is indicative of governmental or official agency oversight and jurisdiction with a focus on control of communicable diseases and environmental sanitation.
