Public Health Theories of Behavior Change Questions
Question 1 of 5
In the hospital, when you need the medical record of a discharged patient for research you will request permission through:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Medical records section. When needing a patient's medical record for research, the appropriate channel is the medical records section as they are responsible for maintaining and providing access to medical records. This ensures confidentiality and proper handling of sensitive information. Requesting permission through the doctor in charge (A) may not follow the proper protocol for accessing medical records. The hospital director (B) is not directly involved in handling medical records, and the nursing service (C) focuses on patient care rather than medical record retrieval. Therefore, D is the correct choice for obtaining permission to access a discharged patient's medical record for research purposes.
Question 2 of 5
As the head nurse in the OR, how can you improve the effectiveness of clinical alarm systems?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Regular maintenance and testing ensure alarm systems are functioning properly. 2. Prevents false alarms or missed alerts, improving patient safety. 3. Enhances staff response time to critical situations. 4. Compliance with regulatory requirements for alarm system management. Summary: A: Limiting suppliers doesn't directly affect alarm system effectiveness. B: Inventory management is important but not specific to alarm systems. C: Adherence to manufacturer's recommendations is essential but not sufficient for enhancing effectiveness compared to regular maintenance and testing.
Question 3 of 5
The breakdown in teamwork is often times a failure in:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Communication. Effective communication is essential for teamwork to function smoothly. Without clear and open communication among team members, misunderstandings, conflicts, and lack of coordination can arise, leading to breakdowns in teamwork. Adequate communication ensures that team members are on the same page, understand their roles and responsibilities, and can collaborate effectively. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not directly address the root cause of teamwork breakdown, which is the lack of communication.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following methods allows the use of any group of research subject?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Convenience. Convenience sampling allows researchers to select any available group of subjects easily accessible to them. This method is often used when specific groups are difficult to reach or when time and resources are limited. Rationale: 1. Purposive sampling (A) involves selecting specific subjects based on predetermined criteria, limiting the flexibility to choose any group. 2. Snow-ball sampling (C) relies on referrals from initial subjects, leading to a biased sample and not allowing for any group selection. 3. Quota sampling (D) involves selecting subjects based on specific characteristics to ensure representation, which also restricts the use of any group. In summary, convenience sampling is the only method that allows for the use of any group of research subjects, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
A client undergone ileostomy, when should the drainage appliance be applied to the stoma?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, "In the operating room." This is because applying the drainage appliance to the stoma immediately after the ileostomy creation in the operating room allows for immediate containment of effluent and reduces the risk of skin irritation or infection. Choice A is incorrect as immediate application is necessary to prevent skin damage. Choice C is incorrect because waiting for the ileostomy to begin functioning can lead to effluent coming into contact with the skin. Choice D is incorrect as self-care procedures should be initiated after application of the drainage appliance to ensure proper stoma care.
