Essentials of Public Health 2nd Edition Turnock – Test Bank

Disclosed in collaboration with the American Public Health Association, this pivotal text in the Jones & Bartlett Learning Essential Public Health series serves as a fantastic primer to the domain of public health. Targeted at senior-level undergraduates or graduate students in public health, health science, healthcare professions, or nursing, Essentials of Public Health focuses on the inner workings of health departments and the role of public health specialists. This comprehensive text amalgamates the finest elements of Dr. Turnock’s other two books: Public Health: What It Is and How It Works and Public Health: Career Paths That Make an Impact. The initial chapters introduce, outline, and explain the public health system, present principles and methodologies for assessing health in populations, delineate the nexus of the public health system with clinical care and other components of the overall healthcare system, and highlight the unique contributions of the government through federal, state, and local public health agencies. The subsequent chapters concentrate on public health professions within the context of the public health workforce. Foundational knowledge about the scale and constitution of the public health workforce is succeeded by chapters that explore roles and positions in public health administration, epidemiology, public health nursing, health education, and other professional designations and duties. With its lucid, user-friendly prose and valuable educational aids such as chapter exercises and discussion prompts, this is the perfect text to equip your students for a vocation in public health.
