Public Health Policy Questions Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is developing communication materials for a community health program. What action should the nurse take to create materials incorporating the needs of the intended target population?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Using images and language that represent the target population helps in creating materials that are relatable and culturally sensitive. 2. It enhances understanding and engagement with the content, making it more effective in reaching and resonating with the intended audience. 3. This approach ensures inclusivity and promotes better communication by addressing the specific needs and preferences of the target population. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect as using medical terminology may hinder understanding for the general public. - Choice B is incorrect as passive voice can make the message less engaging and impactful. - Choice C is incorrect as relying solely on social media limits the reach to specific demographics and may exclude others.
Question 5 of 5
When planning a community health program, which is the best method to ensure the target population's sociocultural and linguistic needs are met?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Include community members in program planning and implementation. This method ensures that the target population's sociocultural and linguistic needs are met because involving community members directly incorporates their perspectives and experiences into the program design. By actively engaging with the community, the program is more likely to be culturally relevant and sensitive. A: Incorporating knowledge about the culture into activities is important but may not fully capture the diverse needs and preferences of the target population. B: Hiring an interpreter is helpful for language barriers but does not address the broader sociocultural aspects of the community. D: Ensuring staff are culturally competent is crucial, but direct involvement of community members in planning is more effective in meeting their specific needs.
