Question 1 of 5
Following the release of the Romanow Report in 2002, which type of care was identified as the most rapidly growing area of community health care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Home care. The Romanow Report highlighted the increasing demand for home care services due to an aging population. Home care allows individuals to receive necessary medical attention and support in the comfort of their own homes, promoting independence and quality of life. This aligns with the trend of shifting towards community-based care to reduce hospitalization and healthcare costs. Choice B: Community problems, and Choice D: Women's issues, are not directly related to the rapid growth of community health care as identified in the Romanow Report. Choice C: Immunization, while important for public health, does not specifically address the focus on home care services in the report.
Question 2 of 5
The increasing complexity of societal needs and rapid changes in public health no longer allow for adequate time for on-the-job training and education. As a result, what is the current minimum level of educational preparation for a public health nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A baccalaureate degree in nursing. Public health nursing requires a comprehensive understanding of population health, epidemiology, policy development, and community assessment. A baccalaureate degree provides the necessary knowledge and skills to address complex public health challenges effectively. While choices A and B focus on general nursing skills, they do not provide the specialized public health knowledge required. Choice D, a master's degree, may be beneficial for advanced roles but is not the minimum educational preparation needed for public health nursing.
Question 3 of 5
Which one of the following is a primary prevention activity for decreasing the incidence of communicable diseases?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is the correct answer: 1. Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of a disease before it occurs. 2. Teaching handwashing to children is a primary prevention activity as it reduces the spread of communicable diseases by preventing transmission through proper hygiene practices. 3. Observing their techniques ensures the correct application of handwashing, further decreasing the incidence of communicable diseases. Summary of why the other choices are incorrect: A: Identifying and treating clients with STIs is secondary prevention, focusing on early detection and treatment, not prevention. C: Providing case management services is tertiary prevention, which involves managing the impact of the disease on individuals, not preventing its occurrence. D: Providing DOT to clients with active tuberculosis is a form of treatment and adherence support, not primary prevention.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following represents the main difference between parish nursing and all other fields of nursing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Affiliation with a church or congregation. Parish nursing is a specialized field of nursing that involves nurses being affiliated with a specific church or congregation. This affiliation is the main difference between parish nursing and all other fields of nursing. Parish nurses focus on providing care within a faith community setting, integrating spiritual aspects into their practice. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while they may be characteristics of parish nursing, they are not the main differentiating factor. Spiritual aspects and holistic care can be incorporated into various fields of nursing, and residence within the community of service is not unique to parish nursing.
Question 5 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) is part of a palliative consultation team that provides care for people living on the streets, in parks, or in shelters or who are unwilling or unable to come
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, community-oriented nursing. This type of nursing service is best classified as such because it focuses on providing care to individuals within their community setting, especially those who are marginalized or underserved. Community-oriented nursing involves addressing the social determinants of health and promoting health equity by delivering care where people live, work, and play. Choice B, home health nursing, primarily involves providing healthcare services to individuals in their homes, which may not fully capture the scope of care provided by the CHN in this scenario. Choice C, home health nursing, is focused on providing skilled nursing care to individuals in their homes, which may not align with the broader community-focused approach of the CHN. Choice D, outpost nursing, typically refers to providing healthcare services in remote or rural areas, which does not accurately describe the urban setting and population served by the CHN in this case.
