A nurse is employed by the state public health department. Which of the following activities would she most likely complete?
a. Set up a flu shot clinic at a neighborhood church
b. Lobby for health care reform to cover more preventive services
c. Monitor the incidence of influenza in the state
d. Serve as a volunteer for a state legislator's campaign
ANS: C
One of the state health care functions is assessment of health needs based on statewide data collection. This could be done by monitoring the incidence of influenza in the state. Setting up a flu shot clinic would most likely be done at the local level, while lobbying for health care reform would most likely be done at the federal level. Serving as a volunteer for a campaign may be something a nurse would do, but would not be specifically related to employment by the state public health department.
