Community Health Exam 1 Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 9
After organizing, follow-up visits are also necessary. What should you do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Certainly! The correct answer is A: Explain the purpose of the visit. This is important because it establishes clear communication between the healthcare provider and the patient/resident. By explaining the purpose first, it sets expectations and ensures the patient understands the reason for the follow-up visit. This step builds trust and allows for any questions or concerns to be addressed upfront. Summary of why the other choices are incorrect: B: Washing hands and performing necessary procedures should come after explaining the purpose of the visit. C: Conducting environmental surveillance is not typically the first step in a follow-up visit. D: Greeting the patient and introducing yourself is important but should follow after explaining the purpose of the visit.
Question 2 of 9
All of the following are objectives of FHSIS except:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "To complete the clinical picture of chronic diseases and describe their natural history." This objective is not typically a primary focus of the Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS). The main purpose of FHSIS is to collect and provide standardized, facility-level data for monitoring and evaluation of health programs. Rationale: A: Incorrect. Completing the clinical picture of chronic diseases is more aligned with clinical research and patient care, not with the primary objective of FHSIS. B: Incorrect. Providing a standardized database for more in-depth studies is a key objective of FHSIS, enabling researchers to access and analyze data. C: Incorrect. Minimizing recording burden and allowing more time for patient care is a potential benefit of FHSIS, but not its primary objective. D: Incorrect. Ensuring useful, accurate, and timely data dissemination is a core objective of FHSIS to support evidence-based decision-making.
Question 3 of 9
A community hospital is an example of which level of health care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Secondary level of care. A community hospital provides specialized services beyond primary care (like emergency care and some specialist services) but does not offer the highly specialized and complex treatments provided by tertiary care facilities (B). Primary care (C) focuses on preventive care and basic treatment. Intermediate level of care (D) is not a recognized level of healthcare. Therefore, a community hospital fits best under the secondary level of care as it offers more specialized services than primary care but less complex treatments than tertiary care facilities.
Question 4 of 9
What is the fundamental block or foundation of the field health service information system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Target Client list. In a health service information system, the target client list is the fundamental block or foundation. It serves as a comprehensive database of individuals who are the focus of the services provided. It helps in identifying, tracking, and managing the health information of clients. Family treatment record (A) is more specific and focuses on individual treatment within a family rather than the overall system foundation. Reporting forms (C) are tools for collecting data but not the foundational block. Output record (D) is a result of the system's processes, not the fundamental block. The target client list is essential for effective service delivery and resource allocation.
Question 5 of 9
A rural sanitary inspector falls under which level of primary health care workers?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Intermediate level health workers. Rural sanitary inspectors are trained professionals who possess a higher level of expertise in public health and sanitation compared to village health workers and barangay health workers. They typically have more specialized knowledge and skills related to sanitation practices and environmental health. Therefore, they fall under the category of intermediate level health workers. Choice A (Village health workers) is incorrect because village health workers usually have basic training in providing primary health care services within the community, but they may not have the specialized knowledge and skills in sanitation and environmental health that rural sanitary inspectors possess. Choice C (Barangay health workers) is also incorrect because barangay health workers are community-based health workers who primarily focus on providing basic health care services and health education within the barangay or village level. They may not have the specific training and expertise in sanitation and public health that rural sanitary inspectors have at the intermediate level. Choice D (All of the above) is incorrect because rural sanitary
Question 6 of 9
Which type of facilities are capable of performing minor surgeries and simple laboratory examinations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intermediate level of care. Intermediate level facilities are capable of performing minor surgeries and simple laboratory examinations due to their higher level of resources and expertise compared to primary health care facilities. Secondary level facilities (A) provide more specialized care but may not necessarily have the capacity for minor surgeries and lab tests. Tertiary level facilities (B) offer complex and specialized treatments, typically beyond minor surgeries and simple lab examinations. Primary health care facilities (D) focus on basic healthcare services and preventive care, lacking the resources and expertise for minor surgeries and lab tests. Therefore, the correct choice is C as it aligns with the capability of providing both minor surgeries and simple laboratory examinations.
Question 7 of 9
What are stressful occurrences referred to as?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Foreseeable crisis. Stressful occurrences are referred to as "foreseeable crisis" because they are events or situations that are anticipated to cause significant stress or disruption. This term implies that the stressful situation is expected or can be predicted in advance. A: Health deficit - This term refers to a lack or shortage in health resources or well-being, not specifically related to stressful occurrences. B: Health threats - While stress can be a threat to health, this term does not specifically capture the idea of anticipated or predictable stressful occurrences. C: Health need - This term refers to requirements for maintaining or improving health, but it does not directly address the concept of stressful occurrences. In summary, "foreseeable crisis" is the correct choice as it accurately describes the nature of stressful occurrences being anticipated or predictable. The other choices do not capture this specific aspect of stressful situations.
Question 8 of 9
What term is used for the statistics of disease and death?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vital statistics. Vital statistics refer to the statistical data related to births, deaths, marriages, and health. This term encompasses the statistical analysis of disease and death rates within a population. Morbidity (choice C) specifically refers to the prevalence of illness or disease in a population, while mortality (choice D) refers to the incidence of death. Statistics (choice B) is a general term and does not specifically address the statistics of disease and death. Therefore, vital statistics (choice A) is the most appropriate term for the statistics of disease and death.
Question 9 of 9
During a discussion about partograph, a clinical instructor asked a midwifery student about its components. Which of the following are parts of the partograph? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Maternal Vital Signs. Maternal vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and respiratory rate, are essential components of the partograph. Monitoring maternal vital signs helps in assessing the progress of labor and detecting any abnormalities early. Rationale: 1. Maternal Wellbeing (A) is not a specific component of the partograph. While maternal wellbeing is important, it is not a direct part of the partograph. 2. Fetal Wellbeing (B) is not a part of the partograph. Fetal wellbeing is assessed through other means such as fetal heart rate monitoring. 3. Fetal Heart Rate (C) is not a part of the partograph. Fetal heart rate monitoring is crucial in labor but is not a component of the partograph.
