NSG420 COMMUNITY NURSING
CH 1
1. A community is concerned about the threat of bioterrorism. Which of the following best describes
the basis for this concern?
a. Bioterrorism has the potential to dissolve community-based programs.
b. This threat could cause the health care system to collapse.
c. The threat of bioterrorism may divert funds from other public safety health care
programs.
d. Fear of bioterrorism will increase the need for shelters.
ANS: C
Bioterrorism may have an impact on the availability of resources for public safety health care
programs. Because funds are diverted it is possible that community-based programs would be
eliminated, the health care system could experience changes, and that there would be an increase
in the need for shelter. However, all of these things would happen because of the diversion of
funds.
