Question 1 of 9
As a new B.S.N. graduate aspiring to become a Public Health Nurse, where should you consider applying?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Rural Health Unit. As a new B.S.N. graduate aspiring to become a Public Health Nurse, working in a Rural Health Unit allows you to directly serve underserved populations, gain diverse experience, and make a significant impact on community health. Choosing A, B, or C may limit your exposure to diverse health issues and community needs compared to working in a rural setting. Additionally, rural areas often face unique health challenges that can provide valuable learning opportunities for a public health nurse.
Question 2 of 9
Which principle is CONTRARY to planning a home visit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because strictly following RHU guidelines can limit flexibility and personalized care. A: Having a clear purpose is essential for effective home visits. B: Centering the plan around family's health needs promotes patient-centered care. D: Involving a responsible family member enhances care continuity and family engagement. Therefore, C is contrary to effective home visit planning.
Question 3 of 9
The delos Reyes couple have a 6-year-old child entering school for the first time. The delos Reyes family has a:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Foreseeable crisis. This is because the situation of a 6-year-old child entering school for the first time represents a significant life event that can lead to stress and adjustment challenges for both the child and the parents. A foreseeable crisis refers to an anticipated event that may disrupt the family's equilibrium and require adjustments. In this case, the transition to school is a major life change that can potentially impact the family dynamics and routines, making it a foreseeable crisis. Choice A (Health threat) is incorrect because there is no indication of any health-related issues in the scenario. Choice B (Health deficit) is also incorrect as there is no mention of any existing health problems within the family. Choice D (Stress point) is not as appropriate as choice C because it does not capture the anticipatory nature of the crisis and the potential impact on family functioning that a foreseeable crisis does.
Question 4 of 9
In the investigation of an epidemic, you compare the present frequency of the disease with the usual frequency at this time of the year in this community. This is done during which stage of the investigation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Establishing the epidemic. During this stage, comparing the present disease frequency with the usual frequency helps determine if there is a significant increase, indicating an epidemic. This step is crucial for recognizing and confirming the outbreak. Testing the hypothesis (B) comes after the epidemic is established. Formulation of the hypothesis (C) involves developing a theory based on observations, not comparing frequencies. Appraisal of facts (D) occurs after data collection, not during the initial comparison.
Question 5 of 9
Which of the following is a function of epidemiology?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness. Epidemiology is the study of patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in populations. Evaluating the effectiveness of implementing protocols like the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness falls under the domain of epidemiology as it involves monitoring and assessing the impact of healthcare interventions on public health outcomes. A: Identifying disease conditions based on manifestations presented by a client is more aligned with clinical diagnosis rather than epidemiology. B: Determining factors that contributed to the occurrence of pneumonia in a 3-year-old is more related to etiology and risk factors, which are part of epidemiological studies but not the primary function. C: Determining the efficacy of the antibiotic used in the treatment of the 3-year-old client with pneumonia is more focused on clinical pharmacology and treatment outcomes rather than the broader population-based approach of epidemiology.
Question 6 of 9
As the public health nurse in a municipality with a total population of about 20,000 and 3 health midwives among the RHU personnel, how many more midwife positions will the RHU need?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1. With a total population of about 20,000, the ideal ratio is 1 midwife per 5,000 people. Currently, there are 3 midwives for 20,000 people (1:6,666). To reach the ideal ratio, the RHU needs 1 more midwife. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they would exceed the ideal ratio of 1 midwife per 5,000 people, leading to inefficiency and potentially underutilizing resources.
Question 7 of 9
What other statistic may be used to determine attainment of longevity besides reaching the average life span of Filipinos?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Swaroop's index. Swaroop's index measures the proportion of deaths occurring after a certain age, typically 70 years old, providing a more accurate assessment of longevity than just reaching the average lifespan. Age-specific mortality rate (A) focuses on mortality at specific age groups, not overall longevity. Proportionate mortality rate (B) measures the proportion of deaths from a specific cause, not overall longevity. Case fatality rate (D) is the proportion of deaths from a specific disease, not a measure of overall longevity. In summary, Swaroop's index is the most appropriate statistic for assessing longevity beyond just reaching the average lifespan.

As a new B.S.N. graduate aspiring to become a Public Health Nurse, working in a Rural Health Unit allows you to directly serve underserved populations, gain diverse experience, and make a significant impact on community health. Choosing A, B, or C may limit your exposure to diverse health issues and community needs compared to working in a rural setting. Additionally, rural areas often face unique health challenges that can provide valuable learning opportunities for a public health nurse.
Question 9 of 9
What law mandates the reporting of cases of notifiable diseases by healthcare professionals?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Act 3573. This law mandates the reporting of notifiable diseases by healthcare professionals in the Philippines.

Choice B, RA 3753, does not pertain to the reporting of notifiable diseases. Choice C, RA 1054, and choice D, RA 1082, are not relevant laws in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is A as it directly addresses the reporting of notifiable diseases by healthcare professionals in the Philippines.
