A nurse works to promote the passage of a public health law to protect the health of the commu-nity. Which of the following would the nurse most likely be promoting?
a. Requiring all persons to have health in-surance coverage
b. Administering flu shots in the late fall and early winter
c. Mandating immunizations for all children entering kindergarten
d. Monitoring and licensing nuclear power plants
ANS: C
Public health laws protect the community. Required immunizations are an example. Requiring health insurance coverage would not protect the community. Administration of flu shots is not promotion of a law. Monitoring and licensing nuclear power plants are beyond the scope of pub-lic health.
