Question 1 of 5
A group of workers wish to seek union representation that would protect all workers in the agency, including unlicensed assistive personnel and non-nursing employees such as a nutritionist and dietary workers. The type of union being sought is the strongest collective group and is known by what term?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Industrial unionism. Industrial unionism represents all workers in a particular industry, regardless of their job roles. In this scenario, the workers seeking union representation include various non-nursing employees, making industrial unionism the most suitable option to protect all workers in the agency. A: A right-to-work bargaining organization focuses on individual rights and does not necessarily represent all workers collectively. B: An occupational union typically represents workers in a specific occupation or trade, not all workers in an industry. D: A union shop requires all workers to join the union after a probationary period, which may not apply to all workers in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
Nurses and community officials are working together to ensure that churches and schools have needed supplies to provide shelter for a large number of individuals in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. These activities represent which phase of a disaster continuum?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Preparedness. In this scenario, the nurses and community officials are taking proactive measures to ensure that necessary supplies are in place before a disaster occurs. Preparedness involves planning, training, and equipping individuals and communities to respond effectively to emergencies. Crisis Intervention (A) occurs during the immediate aftermath of a disaster to address immediate needs. Recovery (C) is the phase where communities rebuild and restore their infrastructure post-disaster. Relief Response (D) involves the initial emergency response to provide immediate assistance to those affected. Overall, the focus on ensuring supplies are in place for potential sheltering indicates preparedness for a disaster, making it the correct choice.
Question 3 of 5
A healthcare provider is caring for a patient who is to receive an antibiotic drug that causes severe skin damage when infiltrated. The order reads 'Infuse over one hour by port-a-cath.' When the healthcare provider assesses the personal digital assistant that lists the steps to access a port-a-cath, which type of computer software is being used?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Point-of-care technology. Point-of-care technology is used at the bedside to access information quickly for immediate patient care, such as procedures like accessing a port-a-cath. In this scenario, the healthcare provider is using a personal digital assistant to follow steps for accessing the port-a-cath, which is a point-of-care technology. A: Data management software focuses on organizing and storing data, not specifically on accessing information at the bedside. B: Electronic health records (EHR) are used for documenting patient information and medical history, not for accessing procedural steps in real-time at the bedside. D: Telehealth involves using technology for remote healthcare services, not for accessing procedural information at the bedside. In summary, the other choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to accessing information at the bedside for immediate patient care, unlike point-of-care technology.
Question 4 of 5
A healthcare professional is interested in locating reliable information concerning non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. Information is found, and the author is a scientist who conducted studies within the last year on the effectiveness of a non-invasive blood glucose monitor. The scientist received funding from a pharmaceutical company to support the studies. The URL indicates the pharmaceutical company excite.com. The healthcare professional is concerned about what component associated with this information?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Objectivity. The healthcare professional should be concerned about objectivity because the funding received from a pharmaceutical company may introduce bias into the study results. The author's objectivity could be compromised due to potential influence from the funding source. It is essential to ensure that the information provided is unbiased and not influenced by external interests. Summary: A: Accuracy - Accuracy relates to the correctness of information, which may not necessarily be compromised by the funding source in this scenario. B: Currency - Currency refers to the timeliness of information, which is not directly impacted by the funding source. C: Authority - Authority pertains to the expertise and credibility of the author, and while the funding source may raise concerns about bias, it does not directly question the author's authority.
Question 5 of 5
When the domain .edu is noted during the search for the term informatics, what should the individual determine about the site's affiliation?

Step 3: Therefore, an educational institution would likely provide accurate and in-depth information on informatics. Step 4: The individual can trust the credibility and reliability of the information provided. Summary: - Option A is incorrect because an internet service provider would not be affiliated with an educational topic like informatics. - Option B is incorrect as commercial sites aim for profit, not education. - Option C is incorrect as government agencies typically have different domain extensions.
