The population health nurse reviews the standards for population-focused care prior to meeting with a group of patients. On which standards should the nurse focus to determine this population's risk for developing health problems related to obesity?
(Select all that apply.)
1. Standard 1: Assessment.
2. Standard 2: Diagnosis.
3. Standard 8: Competency.
4. Standard 12: Ethics.
5. Standard 13: Evidence-based practice.
Answer: 1, 2, 5
Explanation: 1. The first standard addresses assessment where the population health nurse collects data needed to assess the health status of the population and to identify factors contributing to health and illness in the population. Under Standard 2, the nurse analyzes health assessment data to derive population health diagnoses, which are then prioritized to promote effective action. Standard 13 is the integration of research findings into evidence-based practice. This is important for this population because of the disease process and related health problems. Standard 8 focuses on attaining knowledge and maintaining competency in nursing and public health practice. There is no specific evidence to suggest that the nurse needs to attain additional knowledge. Standard 12 emphasizes the need for ethical behavior on the part of the population health nurse. There is no specific evidence to suggest that extra emphasis is needed on ethic for this patient population.
