Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) is part of a palliative consultation team that provides care for people living on the streets, in parks, or in shelters or who are unwilling or unable to come
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, community-oriented nursing. This type of nursing service is best classified as such because it focuses on providing care to individuals within their community setting, especially those who are marginalized or underserved. Community-oriented nursing involves addressing the social determinants of health and promoting health equity by delivering care where people live, work, and play. Choice B, home health nursing, primarily involves providing healthcare services to individuals in their homes, which may not fully capture the scope of care provided by the CHN in this scenario. Choice C, home health nursing, is focused on providing skilled nursing care to individuals in their homes, which may not align with the broader community-focused approach of the CHN. Choice D, outpost nursing, typically refers to providing healthcare services in remote or rural areas, which does not accurately describe the urban setting and population served by the CHN in this case.
Question 2 of 5
What practice is being implemented by the occupational health nurse (OHN) who removes a foreign body from a client's eye?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Secondary prevention. The OHN is implementing secondary prevention by removing the foreign body from the client's eye to prevent further complications such as infection or damage. Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and intervention to prevent the progression of health problems. A: Primary care focuses on providing basic healthcare services and managing common health issues. B: Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of health issues through education and promotion of healthy behaviors. D: Tertiary prevention involves managing and treating existing health conditions to prevent further complications.
Question 3 of 5
A hospital nurse working in employee health notes that several nurses from one unit are missing from work after having contracted a communicable disease from a client. In this scenario, what is considered to be the host?
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Correct Answer: D: The client Rationale: 1. The client is the source of the communicable disease, making them the host. 2. The sick nurses contracted the disease from the client, making them the secondary hosts. 3. The hospital and individual sick nurses are not the primary hosts in this scenario. 4. The communicable disease is the agent causing the infection, not the host. Summary: A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the primary host in this scenario. The client is the host as they carry the communicable disease that infected the nurses.
Question 4 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. In rural areas, access to specialized healthcare professionals like allergists and pulmonologists may be limited. Nurse practitioners are more likely to be available in rural settings, providing primary care services including asthma management. Pediatricians may also be scarce in rural areas, and they primarily focus on children's health. Nurse practitioners can provide holistic care for patients of all ages, making them more accessible and suitable for asthma management in rural communities.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following primarily distinguishes case management from managed care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because case management is focused on providing individualized care to specific clients to address their unique needs and goals. Case management involves assessing, planning, coordinating, monitoring, and evaluating services to meet the client's needs effectively. In contrast, option A is incorrect because case management is not exclusive to health maintenance organizations. Option B is incorrect as case management can be applied to various populations, not just a specific segment. Option D is incorrect as it oversimplifies the role of case management, which goes beyond monitoring health status to encompass comprehensive care coordination.
