Health Care Policy Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to C.E. Winslow, what is the goal of public health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: C.E. Winslow defined public health's goal as ensuring health and longevity as birthrights, per the document, a broad vision beyond prevention, access, or organization. In the Philippines, this inspires CHN to reduce mortality via sanitation, reflecting a rights-based, holistic public health ethos.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following would the community health nurse include in an assessment of community systems?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Community systems assessment examines infrastructure supporting health. Health care providers availability, type, and distribution directly reflect service access, a core system component, per community health frameworks like Pender's model. Age, gender, and race are population characteristics, not systems. Water quality is environmental, and morbidity patterns are outcomes, not infrastructure. Assessing providers informs resource gaps or strengths, critical for planning interventions, ensuring the nurse addresses systemic capacity to meet community needs effectively.
Question 3 of 5
Which concept should the nurse consider when providing maternal-child health care to immigrants who have newly arrived in the United States from various countries around the world?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cultural competence in maternal-child care requires understanding disparities. Black women face higher pregnancy-related cardiomyopathy mortality (CDC data), a critical consideration for immigrants from diverse backgrounds where access and health history vary. Infant mortality isn't uniform globally, eclampsia deaths don't align with racial trends, and disparities are addressable. Recognizing this risk informs tailored care e.g., monitoring cardiac health ensuring nursing meets the unique needs of vulnerable newcomers effectively.
Question 4 of 5
The subjective component of well-being is known as
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Well-being's subjective aspect reflects personal perception, not objective measures. Quality of life captures this encompassing emotional, social, and physical satisfaction, per WHO definitions. Nutritional intake is a specific factor, not the broad concept. Standard of living measures external conditions (e.g., income), not feelings. Combining all dilutes subjectivity. In community health, assessing quality of life informs holistic care, guiding interventions like mental health support, distinct from material or dietary metrics, emphasizing lived experience.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following refers to a disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Disease is a pathological condition with a specific cause, manifesting as pain or dysfunction, per medical definitions. General illness lacks specificity, unexplained pain isn't necessarily disease, and lifestyle disorders may not involve pathology. A condition tied to a pathological reason like infection or organ damage defines disease, guiding nurses to diagnose and treat based on etiology, not just symptoms, critical for community health interventions.
