Addressing cost-containment issues, on what do community health nurses

QUESTION

Addressing cost-containment issues, on what do community health nurses focus?

1. Diagnosis
2. Technical skill
3. Rehabilitation
4. Wellness and prevention

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 4

Nurses will need to focus more upon wellness and prevention in the future, as cost-containment measures continue and the opportunities that community-based health care delivery provides will move the focus on wellness and prevention. Nurses that are on the healthcare front must adapt to the changing environment to ensure future competent care. Diagnosing medical conditions is not within the scope of nursing. Technical skills and rehabilitation are not the priority focus of the community health nurse.
