Community Needs Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is implementing a comprehensive and entertaining educational program. Which action must the nurse complete first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At the core of health education is the development of trusting relationships based on nurturing interactions; thus, this action must be completed before completing any other action.
Question 2 of 5
Which led to the creation of the Health Belief Model (HBM)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The HBM was created to explain why people did or did not participate in health education programs to prevent or detect disease, even when the programs were free. The HBM addresses factors that provide health-enhancing behaviors. Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM) aims to explain why individuals engage in health actions. HPM has been used in studies identifying factors that enhance health-promoting behaviors of military spouses.
Question 3 of 5
Which best describes the primary purpose of both the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Health Promotion Model (HPM) models?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The models are meant to provide an organizing framework to explain why individuals engage in health actions. Therefore, they are also useful in assessing patients' motivations and explaining their behavior.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse who is providing education spends more time being quiet than giving information. Which best explains this behavior?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The exchange of ideas and concerns creates a problem-posing dialogue and identifies root problems or generative themes. The group members themselves create relevant action plans that are congruent with their own reality. Therefore to be effective, the nurse must listen to ensure that teaching reflects what the group wants to learn. Demonstrating respect, encouraging group discussion, and being prepared are all important roles of the nurse, but the reason why the nurse is quiet is to listen and understand the issues the group faces.
Question 5 of 5
A very busy day is planned at a community health fair, and a nurse spends time greeting and meeting each person who walks in. Which best describes the rationale for this action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The core of health education is the therapeutic and healing relationship between the nurse and clients. Inclusion and trust must be established before creating change. The nurse enhances inclusion by greeting clients on arrival in a warm fashion. Distribution of evaluation forms, informing participants of program sponsorship, and sending clients to the appropriate area of the health fair are not as important as the need for establishing a relationship.
