It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing bacteria-containing droplets. This mode of transmission makes TB highly contagious. Incorrect Choices: A: Cholera is transmitted through contaminated food or water, not through the air. C: Salmonella is primarily transmitted through contaminated food, not through the air. D: West Nile virus is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, not through the air.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because organizing a health fair with screenings aligns with secondary prevention by detecting health issues early. This allows for timely intervention and treatment to prevent further complications. Choice B focuses on primary prevention by promoting healthy behaviors to prevent disease onset. Choice C involves tertiary prevention by managing existing conditions rather than preventing new cases. Therefore, A is the most appropriate choice for planning secondary prevention activities.
Question 3 of 5
A community health nurse is performing a needs assessment in a community. Which action is important for the nurse to include in this phase?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assess availability of community resources. This is important because understanding the resources available in the community helps the nurse identify gaps and determine what services or programs are needed. Assessing food options (choice A) is important for addressing nutrition, but it is only one aspect of community needs. Assessing parks in the community (choice C) is important for promoting physical activity but may not address the broader needs of the community. Choice D is blank, so it is not a valid option. In summary, assessing the availability of community resources is crucial in identifying and addressing the comprehensive needs of the community.
Question 4 of 5
A public health nurse notices an extremely high incidents of childhood asthma in families living within a 10-block radius of a particular manufacturing plant. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Request an air quality study from the environmental protection agency (EPA). This is the most logical first step because it will provide objective data on the air quality around the manufacturing plant. This data will help identify if the plant is indeed the cause of the high incidents of childhood asthma. Closing down the plant (choice A) or vacating all the buildings in the 10-mile radius (choice B) would be extreme measures without concrete evidence. Requesting an air quality study allows for a more informed and evidence-based decision-making process.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing for a day at the local health fair for free HIV screening. Which type of prevention is being offered to the community?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Primary prevention. This type of prevention focuses on preventing the disease before it occurs. In the case of HIV screening at a health fair, primary prevention aims to identify individuals who may have HIV early on, thus preventing the spread of the disease to others. Inclusive prevention (choice A) is not a recognized term in public health. Secondary prevention (choice C) usually involves early detection and treatment of a disease to prevent complications, which is not the main goal of HIV screening at a health fair. Tertiary prevention (choice D) involves managing and improving the quality of life for individuals already diagnosed with a disease, which is not the focus of HIV screening at a health fair.
