Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness Questions
Question 1 of 5
Nursing leadership competencies in disaster planning and crisis management encompass which of the following domains? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because assessing the disaster scene is crucial in determining the scope of the crisis, identifying immediate needs, and planning effective response strategies. This competency ensures quick and accurate decision-making. Option B, technical skills, while important, are not specific to leadership competencies in disaster planning. Budget and resource allocation (C) and risk communication (D) are also vital aspects but fall under different domains of disaster management, not specifically related to leadership competencies in planning and crisis management.
Question 2 of 5
An older individual attends an exercise class in the community's parks and recreation facility at the recommendation of their primary provider. At a follow-up appointment, the client tells the nurse in the primary care office that they are unable to perform several of the exercises due to problems with vertigo and have stopped attending the classes. The nurse determines that the client is experiencing which type of negative enabling factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Accessibility of services. In this scenario, the individual is unable to attend exercise classes due to vertigo, indicating a barrier in accessing the services. The client wants to participate, but physical limitations prevent them. This negatively impacts their ability to benefit from the recommended program. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the individual's inability to access the services due to a health-related issue. Availability of resources (B) refers to the presence of necessary tools or materials, not the individual's physical condition. Community and government laws/policies (C) and issue-related skills (D) are not the primary factors hindering the individual's participation in the exercise class.
Question 3 of 5
A public health nurse is working with community members to develop a walking trail to encourage residents
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Primordial. This level of prevention aims to prevent the development of risk factors before they occur. Developing a walking trail to encourage physical activity aligns with primordial prevention by promoting a healthy lifestyle from the outset. Primary prevention (choice C) focuses on preventing the onset of diseases, while secondary prevention (choice D) involves early detection and treatment of diseases. Choice A is not a specific level of prevention but rather a question that does not directly relate to the scenario. Therefore, the nurse's action of creating a walking trail corresponds most closely with primordial prevention.
Question 4 of 5
A densely populated urban area has a high prevalence of obesity among the residents. The local government is partnering with the health department to build parks and recreation centers to promote physical activity. Which of the following is the most likely system-related barrier the program faces?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Limited financial resources. This is the most likely system-related barrier because building parks and recreation centers require funding, and without adequate financial resources, the program may struggle to implement these initiatives effectively. Choice A (Genetic predisposition to obesity) is incorrect as it is not a system-related barrier but rather a biological factor. Choice B (Lack of community engagement) is incorrect as it pertains to community involvement rather than a system-related barrier. Choice C (Individual client attitudes and beliefs) is incorrect as it focuses on personal factors rather than system-related barriers. Ultimately, limited financial resources pose a significant challenge for the program in building the necessary infrastructure to promote physical activity in the urban area.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse using the intervention mapping framework to plan a community health program has selected activities to meet program goals. What is the next step in the framework?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Develop evaluation methods. After selecting activities to meet program goals, the next step in the intervention mapping framework is to develop evaluation methods. This step is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the program in achieving its objectives. Evaluation methods help gather data to measure the program's impact, identify areas for improvement, and ensure the program is meeting the needs of the community. It allows for evidence-based decision-making and continuous quality improvement. Summary: A: Draft program messages and materials - This step usually comes after developing evaluation methods. B: Conduct a community assessment - Typically done at the initial stages of program planning. C: Establish community partnerships - Important but usually done earlier in the planning process.
