Chapter 4 : Health Education and Promotion Questions
Question 1 of 5
A public health nurse is assessing the nutritional awareness of a group of women who are participating in a prenatal health class. What outcome would most clearly demonstrate that the women possess nutritional awareness?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nutritional awareness involves an understanding of the importance of a healthy diet that supplies all of the essential nutrients. The other options are incorrect because vitamin supplements are not necessary for a healthy diet, a certain amount of all minerals need to be eaten daily, and understanding what constitutes the recommended daily nutrients is not necessary for nutritional awareness.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse has planned a teaching-learning interaction that is aimed at middle school-aged students. To foster successful health education, the nurses planning should prioritize which of the following components?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A patients social and cultural patterns must be appropriately incorporated into the teaching-learning interaction. Pretesting may or may not be used; patient awareness is a phrase that has many meanings, none of which make the teaching-learning interaction successful. Interventions are not measured; goals and outcomes are.
Question 3 of 5
Positive patient outcomes are the ultimate goal of nurse-patient interactions, regardless of the particular setting. Which of the following factors has the most direct influence on positive patient-care outcomes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Health education is an influential factor directly related to positive patient-care outcomes. The other options are incorrect because ethnicity, the patients age, and outcome evaluation are less influential factors related to positive patient-care outcomes, though each factor should be considered when planning care.
Question 4 of 5
A school nurse is facilitating a health screening program among junior high school students. What purpose of health screening should the nurse prioritize when planning this program?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The goal of health screening in the adolescent population has been to detect health problems at an early age so that they can be treated at this time. An additional goal includes efforts to promote positive health practices at an early age. The focus is not on anticipatory guidance or evaluation of treatment. Health screening includes infectious diseases, but is not limited to these.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse recognizes that individuals of different ages have specific health promotion needs. When planning to promote health among young adults, what subject is most likely to meet this demographic groups learning needs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Because of the nationwide emphasis on health during the reproductive years, young adults actively seek programs that address prenatal health, parenting, family planning, and womens health issues. The other options are incorrect because they are not health promotion classes typically sought out by young adults.
