Community Health Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A man, bleeding profusely and screaming, perhaps out of fear, cries out "I've got a right to see a doctor. I'm hurt. Someone has to take care of me!" What ethical premise could justify such a demand?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it aligns with the ethical principle of equality and the duty to meet basic needs. In this scenario, the man's demand to see a doctor stems from the fundamental belief that all individuals should be treated equally and have access to necessary medical care to prevent death. This ethical premise is rooted in the principle of justice and compassion, emphasizing the value of human life and the responsibility to provide assistance in times of need. Incorrect answers: A: This choice focuses on financial contributions and entitlement based on taxes, which is not the primary ethical consideration in this situation. B: While saving a life can benefit society, this choice does not address the ethical premise of equality and basic needs that underpin the man's demand for medical care. D: This choice emphasizes property rights, which are not directly relevant to the ethical justification for providing medical assistance based on equality and basic human needs.

Question 3 of 5
On the basis of projected increases in the number of older Canadian citizens, a planning committee wants to establish a daycare program for the community's elderly population. What stage would be used to assess the needs of this proposed program?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Preactive stage. In this stage, assessment of needs is done before implementing a program. For the daycare program for the elderly, assessing their specific requirements, preferences, and challenges is crucial for effective planning. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Reactive stage - This stage involves responding to an issue after it has occurred, not suitable for proactive planning. C: Inactive stage - This stage implies no action or planning, which is not appropriate for establishing a new program. D: Interactive stage - This stage involves engaging with stakeholders during program implementation, not specifically focused on assessing needs beforehand.
Question 4 of 5
A team of community health nurses (CHNs) disagree about the appropriate action to take in relation to a family with an ill family member who have chosen to continue working at their jobs instead of taking time off to care for the ill family member. One CHN states, "The whole family is being affected and will fall apart if they don't focus on the family's needs first." What type of thinking is this CHN applying?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Communitarianism. This is because the CHN is focusing on the well-being of the whole family as a community unit rather than just the individual's rights or benefits. Communitarianism emphasizes the importance of collective well-being and community values over individual interests. Explanation: 1. Communitarianism focuses on the well-being of the community as a whole, which aligns with the CHN's statement about the family's needs coming first. 2. Deontological ethics emphasizes following moral rules or duties regardless of the consequences, which is not reflected in the CHN's statement. 3. Principlism involves considering ethical principles like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice, which are not explicitly addressed in the CHN's statement. 4. Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall happiness or well-being for the greatest number of people, which is not the primary concern in the CHN's statement. Summary: The CH
Question 5 of 5
What term is used interchangeably with the term subpopulations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Groups. Subpopulations are subsets of a larger population, and the term "groups" is commonly used interchangeably to refer to these subsets. "Aggregates" typically refer to collections of data or information rather than specific subgroups of individuals. "Clients" are individuals or entities receiving services and do not necessarily represent subpopulations. "Communities" refer to larger social units and are not synonymous with subpopulations. Therefore, "groups" is the most appropriate term to describe subpopulations.
