Question 1 of 5
If the RHU needs additional midwife items, you will submit the request for additional midwife items for approval to the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Provincial Health Office. The Provincial Health Office oversees healthcare services at the provincial level, including the allocation of resources like midwife items. Submitting the request for additional midwife items to the Provincial Health Office ensures proper coordination and resource distribution. The other choices are incorrect because the Rural Health Unit (A) typically does not have the authority to approve additional resources, the District Health Office (B) may not have the jurisdiction for provincial-level resources, and the Municipal Health Board (D) focuses on local health matters rather than provincial resource allocation.
Question 2 of 5
Which step in community organizing involves training of potential leaders in the community?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Community organization. This step involves training potential leaders to mobilize and empower the community. It focuses on building leadership skills, organizing resources, and implementing strategies for community development. Integration (A) refers to bringing diverse groups together, not training leaders. Community study (C) involves research and assessment of community needs, not leader training. Core group formation (D) is about establishing a committed group to drive the organization, not specifically focused on leadership development.
Question 3 of 5
The public health nurse takes an active role in community participation. What is the primary goal of community organizing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: To mobilize the people to resolve community health problems. Community organizing aims to empower community members to take collective action in addressing health issues. This involves mobilizing individuals to work together towards finding solutions and implementing strategies. By actively involving the community in problem-solving, sustainable changes can be achieved. Other choices are incorrect because educating alone may not lead to action (A), maximizing resources does not necessarily involve active participation (C), and choice D is incomplete.
Question 4 of 5
Tertiary prevention is needed in which stage of the natural history of disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tertiary prevention occurs during the Terminal stage of the natural history of disease. This stage is characterized by advanced disease progression and complications. Tertiary prevention aims to prevent further deterioration, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life. In contrast, Pre-pathogenesis (A) focuses on preventing the initial development of the disease, Pathogenesis (B) involves understanding the disease process, and Predromal (C) is the early stage with subtle symptoms. Terminal stage (D) is where interventions focus on palliative care and supportive treatments.
Question 5 of 5
On the other hand, Operation Timbang is_____ prevention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Primary. Operation Timbang is a community-based nutrition program that aims to prevent malnutrition by identifying at-risk individuals early on. This corresponds to primary prevention, which focuses on preventing diseases or conditions before they occur. Secondary prevention (B) involves early detection and treatment of diseases, while tertiary prevention (D) aims to manage and reduce complications of existing conditions. Intermediate prevention (C) is not a recognized level of prevention. Therefore, A is the most appropriate choice for Operation Timbang.
