Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Morbidity.' Morbidity specifically refers to the statistics of illnesses, encompassing the incidence, prevalence, and duration of disease within a population.
Choice A, 'Vital statistics,' typically refers to data on births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.
Choice C, 'Statistics,' is a broad term encompassing the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of numerical data.

Question 2 of 5
Certain health policies/strategies serve as guidelines in the delivery of services. Which of these is incorrect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Choice C is incorrect because public sectors are encouraged to collaborate with the private sector for effective utilization of resources, not work separately. Collaborating with the private sector can lead to improved resource allocation, better service delivery, and enhanced healthcare outcomes.
Choices A, B, and D are correct as growth monitoring charts are indeed recommended for assessing child health, promoting voluntary blood donation through walking blood banks is beneficial, and training traditional birth attendants to provide prenatal care can improve maternal health.
Question 3 of 5
As a supervisor, you plan to conduct a seminar in response to the midwife's training need for skills in community diagnosis. Which is an appropriate method to use to enable midwives to apply the knowledge they will gain in actual practice?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Problem-solving is an effective method to enable midwives to apply the knowledge gained in actual practice. By engaging in problem-solving activities during the seminar, midwives can enhance their critical thinking skills and directly apply the information to real-life scenarios they may encounter in community diagnosis.
Choice A (lecture) is less effective as it primarily involves passive listening and may not provide the hands-on experience needed for practical application.
Choice C (group discussion) can be helpful for sharing perspectives but may not directly translate to practical application as problem-solving would.
Choice D (nominal group technique) focuses more on generating ideas and reaching consensus rather than hands-on application of knowledge.
Question 4 of 5
What title should be given to this occupational health nurse job description? A registered nurse who establishes a provider network, recommends treatment plans that assure quality and efficacy while controlling costs, monitors outcomes, and maintains communication among all involved.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: case manager. A case manager in healthcare coordinates care, monitors outcomes, and ensures quality and cost-effectiveness. In this job description, the nurse is mainly focused on coordinating care, recommending treatment plans, monitoring outcomes, and maintaining communication among all involved, which aligns with the responsibilities of a case manager.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the job description does not primarily involve general management, research, or health promotion specialization.
Question 5 of 5
A client was admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia. When auscultating the client's breath sounds, the nurse hears inspiratory crackles in the right base. Temperature is 102.3 degrees Fahrenheit orally. What finding would the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mental confusion. In this scenario, the client's high fever and pneumonia diagnosis indicate an infection. Infections, especially in older adults, can lead to mental confusion due to the body's systemic response to the infection. Flushed skin (choice
A) is more commonly associated with fever but does not specifically relate to the client's condition. Bradycardia (choice
B) and hypotension (choice
D) are less likely findings in a client with pneumonia and a high fever; instead, tachycardia and increased blood pressure are more commonly seen in response to infection.
