Question 1 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 2 of 5
The typology of family nursing problems is used in the statement of nursing diagnosis in the care of families. The youngest child of the delos Reyes family has been diagnosed as mentally
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is B: Health threat. In family nursing, a health threat refers to a situation where a family member is at risk of developing a health problem, which aligns with the youngest child's mental health diagnosis. Health deficit (C) refers to an actual health problem, not a potential risk. Foreseeable crisis (D) does not accurately describe the current situation as it implies a future event, not the current diagnosis. Classifying it as a health threat (B) helps to identify and address potential risks to the family's health.
Question 3 of 5
Which is CONTRARY to the principles in planning a home visit?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because planning a home visit should not necessarily be conducted in a prescribed manner by the Rural Health Unit (RHU). The planning should be based on individual family needs and goals, not rigid guidelines. A: Having a purpose or objective is essential for effective home visits. B: The plan should indeed revolve around the family's health needs to provide tailored care. D: Involving a responsible family member in continuing care planning promotes family engagement and empowerment.
Question 4 of 5
To maintain the cleanliness of the bag and its contents, which of the following must the nurse do?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A - Wash his/her hands before and after providing nursing care to the family members. Rationale: 1. Washing hands before care reduces the risk of transferring germs to the bag and its contents. 2. Washing hands after care prevents contamination of the bag and its contents. 3. Proper hand hygiene is crucial in preventing the spread of infections. Summary: - Choice B is not as critical as hand hygiene in preventing contamination. - Choice C focuses on uniform protection, not bag cleanliness. - Choice D addresses bag lining but neglects the most important aspect: hand hygiene.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a function of epidemiology?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because epidemiology focuses on studying the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations. By determining factors contributing to pneumonia in a 3-year-old, epidemiology helps understand the causes and risk factors of the disease at a population level. This information can lead to preventive measures and targeted interventions. A is incorrect because identifying disease conditions based on client manifestations is more related to clinical diagnosis. C is incorrect as it pertains to pharmacology and clinical trials. D is incorrect because evaluating the effectiveness of program implementations is more aligned with program evaluation rather than epidemiology.
