A public health nurse is working with a group of home health nurses in an isolated, mountainous region where access to smaller communities and individuals is quite difficult,
especially in the winter and early spring—seasons when the health needs of these individuals are quite high. The public health nurse has set up video conferencing and video clinics for these home health nurses regarding various client teaching and health promotion activities. What activity did the public health nurse conduct?
1. Community-based nursing
2. Parish nursing
3. Telenursing
4. Collaborative health care
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Community-based nursing is nursing care directed toward specific individuals.
Rationale 2: Parish nursing focuses on integrating aspects of faith and members of a particular congregation and health care or nursing needs.
Rationale 3: Telehealth projects use communication and information technology to provide health information and health care services to people in rural, remote, or underserviced areas. Video conferences and video clinics enable health care workers to provide distant consultation to assess and treat ambulatory clients who have a variety of health care needs. Telenursing enables nurses to provide client teaching and health promotion to distant clients.
Rationale 4: Collaborative health care describes a process of teamwork in providing comprehensive health care.
