Question 1 of 5
An employee in a laboratory drops a flask, resulting in the chemical splashing into her eyes. What is the agent in this scenario?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chemical. In this scenario, the chemical is the agent causing harm by splashing into the employee's eyes. The chemical is the direct cause of the injury. The employee is the recipient of the harm, not the agent. The flask and the laboratory are simply the environment or tools involved in the incident and are not actively causing harm. Therefore, the correct identification of the agent is the chemical that splashed into the employee's eyes.
Question 2 of 5
For the community health nurse (CHN) who plans to move from an urban centre to a rural region of the country, which one of the following statements should be included in the advice on preparing for role alterations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Moving from urban to rural area means adapting to different work environment. Step 2: Rural areas often have limited resources and healthcare facilities. Step 3: Therefore, the CHN should expect less autonomy due to fewer support systems. Step 4: Option B is correct as it addresses the need to adjust to the rural setting. Summary: Option A is incorrect as assumptions about community perception may vary. Option C is incorrect as fewer clinics might mean fewer resources. Option D is incorrect as specialized skills may not be the immediate focus in a rural environment.
Question 3 of 5

This definition specifically emphasizes the importance of understanding health information to promote, maintain, and improve health. Choice A, Health promotion, focuses more on activities that aim to enhance well-being. Choice C, Health advocacy, involves supporting and promoting policies that improve health.

Question 4 of 5
In his document entitled Achieving Health for All: A Framework for Health Promotion, Epp supported a community and policy focus in health promotion. What did he recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Epp supported community and policy focus in health promotion. Step 2: Public participation is essential in community-focused approaches. Step 3: Epp recommended actions fostering public participation. Therefore, choice C is correct as it aligns with Epp's emphasis on community involvement. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect Epp's recommendations. A focuses on international cooperation, B contradicts Epp's goal, and D narrows the focus to selected areas rather than a community-wide approach.
Question 5 of 5
Which report introduced the concept of health promotion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lalonde Report. This report, published in 1974, was the first to introduce the concept of health promotion, emphasizing the importance of prevention and lifestyle factors in improving health outcomes. The Epp Report (A) focused on health services and the Black Report (B) highlighted health inequalities. The WHO Commission Report on Social Determinants (D) discussed the impact of social factors on health but did not specifically introduce the concept of health promotion. Therefore, the Lalonde Report is the correct choice for introducing the concept of health promotion.
