Community Health Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to the Comprehensive School Health Framework of health promotion, what is the correct definition of primordial prevention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Primordial prevention focuses on preventing risk factors before they even develop. This aligns with the idea of promoting healthy behaviors and environments to avoid the emergence of risk factors. Choice A focuses on education, not prevention. Choice C involves screening, not prevention. Choice D aims at reducing complications, not preventing risk factors. Primordial prevention is about addressing root causes to promote long-term health.
Question 2 of 5
What constitutes tertiary prevention by a community health nurse (CHN) who wants to promote improved health in obese children?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing the impact of an already established disease or condition. Step 2: Lifestyle improvement programs for obese children fall under tertiary prevention by helping manage and improve their condition. Step 3: Establishing these programs through local youth organizations allows for wide-reaching support and resources. Step 4: Evaluating food intake (B) is more related to primary prevention. Providing educational programs to overweight parents (C) is secondary prevention. Measuring BMI in well-child assessments (D) is more about early detection rather than tertiary prevention. Therefore, option A is the correct choice for promoting improved health in obese children through tertiary prevention.
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
What is the main influence on the effectiveness of a group's work?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The group's leadership. Effective leadership is crucial in guiding and motivating a group towards achieving its goals. Leaders provide direction, support, and organization which directly impacts the effectiveness of a group's work. General knowledge (A) is important but leadership is needed to harness and utilize this knowledge effectively. Group diversity (C) can enhance creativity but leadership is essential to manage and leverage diversity. Group health behaviors (D) are important but not as influential as leadership in determining the overall effectiveness of a group's work.
Question 5 of 5
Which group conflict resolution strategy is most concerned with the self, or "I-ness"?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Competing. This conflict resolution strategy is most concerned with the self or "I-ness" because it prioritizes one's own needs and goals over others. It involves assertively pursuing one's interests without considering the concerns of the other party. This approach is suitable in situations where quick decisions are needed or when one's goals are more important than maintaining relationships. Summary of other choices: B: Avoidance - This strategy involves ignoring or sidestepping the conflict, focusing on neither self nor others. C: Compromising - This strategy involves finding a middle ground where both parties give up some of their demands, sharing concerns. D: Accommodating - This strategy involves prioritizing the concerns of the other party over one's own, focusing more on "you-ness" than "I-ness."
