The Intervention Wheel serves primarily to:

• A. To classify all clinical medications.
• B. To guide and categorize public health nursing interventions.
• C. To measure individual patient outcomes.
• D. To determine funding for clinics.

Answer: (B)

The Intervention Wheel is a framework that provides a standardized set of public health nursing interventions to guide and categorize practice across three levels—individual/family, community, and systems. It gives public health nurses a common language for planning, implementing, and evaluating programs, helping to map interventions to community needs and essential public health services. It’s not about classifying clinical medications, measuring every individual outcome, or determining funding for clinics; rather, it organizes the types of interventions nurses can use to improve population health and communicate them clearly.
