Question 1 of 5
In order to establish priorities in planning and implementing the occupational health program, which of the following data will the nurse need?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To effectively plan and implement an occupational health program, the nurse needs comprehensive data, including disease trends, birth and death rates, and social environmental conditions. This holistic approach ensures that the program addresses a wide range of health aspects impacting the target population. Option A is the correct choice as it considers multiple factors influencing occupational health. Choices B, C, and D are each individually important but do not provide the breadth of information required to establish priorities in a comprehensive occupational health program.
Question 2 of 5
What is an important basis in preparing the family health care plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In preparing a family health care plan, it is crucial to consider the needs and problems as perceived and accepted by the family members themselves. This ensures that the plan aligns with the family's beliefs, values, and preferences, leading to better acceptance and adherence. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the active involvement and acceptance of the family in recognizing their needs and problems are essential for effective health care planning.
Question 3 of 5
The delivery of basic health services was decentralized to the local government units. The legal basis for this is embodied in:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, RA 7160. This law, also known as the Local Government Code, decentralizes health services to local government units. RA 7035 is not the legal basis for decentralizing basic health services. EO 119 and PD 999 are also not the correct legal bases for the decentralization of health services.
Question 4 of 5
When teaching a responsible family member how to perform a certain procedure for the patient, what is the best approach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best approach when teaching a responsible family member a procedure for the patient is to demonstrate the procedure. By demonstrating, the family member can visually see how it is done, making it easier for them to understand and replicate. This hands-on approach is more effective than just describing the procedure (choice C) or arranging for practice (choice B) without a visual demonstration. Performing all the steps (choice A) may not be practical or necessary when the goal is to teach someone else how to do it.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following qualifications is not required for a Nurse Supervisor at the provincial level?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the qualifications for a Nurse Supervisor at the provincial level include a BSN, RN, and a Master's in public health, along with a minimum of 5 years of experience in public health. Choice B, which states 'at least 3 years experience,' is incorrect as the requirement is for at least 5 years of experience in public health. Choices A, C, and D are necessary qualifications for a Nurse Supervisor at the provincial level based on the provided information.
