Public Health Nursing
Mock Exam
Course Introduction
Public Health Nursing focuses on the role of nurses in promoting and protecting the health of populations, with an emphasis on community-oriented care rather than individual patient care. The course covers strategies for assessing community health needs, planning and implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes. Students will explore topics such as epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, and health education, as well as the social determinants of health and health policy. By integrating nursing theory with public health principles, the course prepares nursing students to address complex health issues at the community and systems levels, working with diverse populations and interdisciplinary teams to improve public health outcomes.
