Question 1 of 5
How would the community health nurse use summative evaluation data when evaluating the education plan for a group of homeless IV drug users?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The community health nurse would use summative evaluation data to determine if the education plan has advanced the knowledge of the homeless IV drug users, leading to healthier choices. Summative evaluation assesses the overall effectiveness of the program after its completion. By analyzing the data gathered from the evaluation, the nurse can measure the impact of the education plan on the knowledge levels of the population. This information is crucial in determining if the intended outcomes of the education plan have been achieved. Choices B and C are incorrect because they are not related to the purpose of summative evaluation. Summative evaluation focuses on assessing the overall impact of the program, not on making assumptions about the population's hope or willingness to change. Choice D is incomplete and does not provide a valid alternative to the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
This brought the total number of polio cases to 12 in the city. The 2 new cases of polio represent which rate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Incidence. Incidence refers to the rate of new cases of a disease within a specific population over a set period. In this case, the 2 new polio cases represent the incidence rate as they are new cases added to the existing total of 10 cases, bringing the total to 12. Summary: - Choice B: Break out does not apply as it typically refers to a sudden increase in the number of cases. - Choice C: Pandemic is incorrect as it refers to a widespread outbreak affecting a large population. - Choice D: Disaster is not relevant in the context of disease rates.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult about yearly vaccination. What yearly vaccination will decrease the risk of death from which of the following illness in the older adult population?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. The correct answer is B: Flu vaccination. 2. In older adults, flu can lead to severe complications and even death. 3. Yearly flu vaccination helps prevent flu-related illnesses and reduces the risk of death. 4. Measles (A) is not a common concern in older adults. 5. DtaP (C) and whooping cough (D) vaccinations are more relevant for children and young adults. Summary: Yearly flu vaccination for older adults decreases the risk of death by preventing flu-related complications. Measles, DtaP, and whooping cough vaccinations are not as crucial for this age group.
Question 4 of 5
A community nurse is conducting an educational program on various environmental pollutants. The nurse should emphasize the clients who have which of the following disorders that are especially vulnerable in the ozone effects.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Asthma. Ozone can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma due to its irritating effects on the airways. Asthma patients are more vulnerable to ozone-induced respiratory symptoms. Chicken pox (A), Scarlet Fever (C), and Malaria (D) are not directly affected by ozone exposure. Asthma is the most relevant disorder in this context due to its respiratory nature and susceptibility to ozone effects.
Question 5 of 5
A community nurse wants to obtain an overview of the community, but it has limited time and resources. Which of the following methods would the nurse most likely use to obtain this information?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Windshield survey. A windshield survey involves driving or walking around the community to observe its physical and social characteristics, such as housing conditions, amenities, and population demographics. This method allows the nurse to quickly gather valuable information about the community's overall health and social needs. Asking a coworker for help (B) may provide some insights but may not offer a comprehensive overview. Skipping the community (C) would neglect the nurse's responsibility to understand the community's needs. Option D is incomplete, making it an invalid choice.
