Public Health Policy Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is working at a community event to help individuals obtain health
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as younger people with certain disabilities. A 62-year-old client with heart failure would most likely qualify for Medicare due to their age and health condition. Choice A is correct because of the client's age and health status. Choices C and D are incorrect as Medicare eligibility is not based on employment status or having children, and a 28-year-old with no income would not typically qualify for Medicare based on age alone.
Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse provides health care to a marginalized community. Which factor will guide the nurse's health programming?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because identifying and addressing barriers to accessing health care is crucial in providing effective health programming for a marginalized community. By recognizing and overcoming these barriers such as lack of transportation or language barriers, the nurse can ensure that community members receive the care they need. Option A is incorrect because eligibility for Medicaid does not necessarily guide health programming decisions. Option B is incomplete and does not provide relevant information. Option D is also incorrect as it does not offer any meaningful guidance for health programming in a marginalized community.
Question 3 of 5
Which action can the community health nurse take to help an unemployed client without health insurance mitigate the high cost of prescription drugs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. By speaking with the provider about lower-cost alternatives, the community health nurse can help the client access more affordable prescription drugs. This approach addresses the financial barrier of high drug costs directly, ensuring the client can still receive necessary medications. A: Reducing spending on food and other items may not be feasible or sustainable for the client and may not directly address the issue of high prescription drug costs. B: Asking the client which medications they feel are not necessary could potentially compromise the client's health if essential medications are skipped. D: Emphasizing the importance of taking all medications is valid but does not address the financial burden of high drug costs.
Question 4 of 5
A client in a community health center is receiving team-based care for primary care needs and management
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Medical home. In a medical home model, the client receives comprehensive, coordinated, and patient-centered care from a team of healthcare providers, including nurses, social workers, and other professionals. The nurse referring the client to the social worker aligns with the collaborative approach of a medical home. Choice A is incorrect because it does not specify the holistic care approach of a medical home. Choice B, Accountable Care Organization, focuses more on payment and quality measures. Choice C, Integrated Service Line, relates to a specific service area rather than the overall primary care delivery model.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse evaluates how activities were implemented and what resources were needed to carry out a community health program. Which type of evaluation is the nurse using?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Process evaluation. The nurse is assessing how activities were implemented and the resources needed, which falls under process evaluation. This type of evaluation focuses on the implementation of the program to ensure it is being carried out as planned. Formative evaluation focuses on improving the program during development, outcome evaluation assesses the results achieved, and impact evaluation looks at the broader effects beyond the immediate outcomes. The nurse in this scenario is specifically evaluating the process of implementation, making process evaluation the most appropriate choice.
