Community Health Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
From which health care professional is a rural resident with asthma more likely to receive health care services?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nurse practitioner. Rural areas often have limited access to specialty care, making it more likely for a rural resident with asthma to receive care from a nurse practitioner who can provide primary care services, including asthma management. Nurse practitioners are trained to diagnose and treat common health conditions, including asthma, making them more accessible in rural areas.
Incorrect choices:
A: Allergist - Allergists are specialists who focus on diagnosing and treating allergies, not all asthma cases require an allergist.
C: Pediatrician - Pediatricians primarily focus on children's health, and adults with asthma may not seek care from a pediatrician.
D: Pulmonologist - Pulmonologists are specialists in respiratory diseases, often limited in rural areas, making access to them less likely for rural residents with asthma.
Question 2 of 5
Whenever possible, population-based practice focuses on which level of prevention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Population-based practice focuses on primary prevention because it aims to prevent diseases or health issues before they occur by addressing the root causes within the entire population. This approach involves implementing strategies such as promoting healthy behaviors, vaccination programs, and environmental changes to improve overall health outcomes. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and treatment of diseases, tertiary prevention focuses on managing complications and preventing further deterioration, and individual prevention is focused on individual-level interventions rather than population-wide strategies.
Therefore, primary prevention is the most appropriate level for population-based practice to promote health and prevent diseases effectively.

Question 5 of 5
Which action proposed to prevent problems related to coronary artery disease (CAD) in a region with a high prevalence is most likely to have positive outcomes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it addresses prevention strategies at multiple levels - early education in schools, community-wide awareness through presentations, and targeted education for high-risk populations. Introducing heart health information in Grade 1 can establish lifelong healthy habits. Presentations for the community will reach a wider audience, promoting awareness and behavior change. Special education sessions for high-risk populations ensure tailored interventions.
Choice B focuses on online activities and screenings, which may not be as effective in reaching the entire population.
Choice C includes some good components like educational materials and screenings but lacks the comprehensive approach of choice A.
Choice D is more focused on treatment and management rather than prevention, which is not as effective in addressing the high prevalence of CAD in the region.
