Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness Questions
Question 1 of 5
A public health nurse is working with community members to develop a walking trail to encourage residents
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Primordial. This level of prevention aims to prevent the development of risk factors before they occur. Developing a walking trail to encourage physical activity aligns with primordial prevention by promoting a healthy lifestyle from the outset. Primary prevention (choice C) focuses on preventing the onset of diseases, while secondary prevention (choice D) involves early detection and treatment of diseases. Choice A is not a specific level of prevention but rather a question that does not directly relate to the scenario. Therefore, the nurse's action of creating a walking trail corresponds most closely with primordial prevention.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse using the intervention mapping framework to plan a community health program has selected activities to meet program goals. What is the next step in the framework?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Develop evaluation methods. After selecting activities to meet program goals, the next step in the intervention mapping framework is to develop evaluation methods. This step is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the program in achieving its objectives. Evaluation methods help gather data to measure the program's impact, identify areas for improvement, and ensure the program is meeting the needs of the community. It allows for evidence-based decision-making and continuous quality improvement. Summary: A: Draft program messages and materials - This step usually comes after developing evaluation methods. B: Conduct a community assessment - Typically done at the initial stages of program planning. C: Establish community partnerships - Important but usually done earlier in the planning process.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a program objective written using the SMART approach?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it meets the criteria of the SMART approach. Specific: It clearly states the goal of reducing alcohol use by county youth. Measurable: It includes a quantifiable target of decreasing from 5% to 4%. Achievable: The goal is realistic and attainable. Relevant: It addresses a significant issue of alcohol use. Time-bound: It specifies the deadline of December 31. Option A lacks specificity and measurability. Options C and D are incomplete and do not follow the SMART criteria.
Question 4 of 5
Which process will the nurse involved in a research study utilize to protect participant autonomy and informed consent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. The IRB ensures that research studies protect participant autonomy and informed consent by reviewing study protocols to ensure ethical standards are met. This process includes assessing risks, benefits, and participant rights. Choice B, following HIPAA guidelines, pertains to protecting patient privacy, not participant autonomy. Choice C, FERPA, relates to educational records privacy, not research participant autonomy. Choice D, ensuring FERPA, is also unrelated to research participant autonomy and informed consent. Therefore, obtaining IRB approval is the correct process to protect participant autonomy in research studies.
Question 5 of 5
Which action would the nurse perform while engaged in the mitigation phase of disaster management?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the mitigation phase, the focus is on planning and preparing for disasters. Completing a tabletop exercise (Choice D) helps identify gaps in the response plan and improve preparedness. This is crucial for effective disaster management. Simulating a response (Choice A) occurs in the response phase. Placing sandbags (Choice B) is part of the preparedness phase. Preparing a school for housing (Choice C) is part of the response phase. Thus, Choice D is correct for the mitigation phase.
