Correct Answer: D
Rationale: This is descriptive epidemiology, summarizing disease occurrence (deaths) in a population.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the document stipulating the rules of health promotion actions in the fight against the epidemic accumulation of diseases of affluence and defining health promotion as 'the process of enabling people to increase control over the factors affecting their lives'?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse executive is implementing evidence-based practice at a community nursing center that serves a large Cuban immigrant population. Which of the following actions would be the most helpful for the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Option C, inviting Cuban immigrants to serve on the center's advisory, is the most helpful action as it directly involves the target population in decision-making. This ensures culturally relevant care and fosters trust. Option A focuses on policies rather than direct community input. Option B, while promoting staff collaboration, lacks the direct perspective of the immigrants. Option D is incomplete.
Question 4 of 5
A busy school health nurse concerned over the rising incidence of obesity wants to implement evidence-based practice (EBP) but faces barriers because of time constraints. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it aligns with the EBP process by emphasizing the evaluation of best practices to identify effective strategies for weight control in children. By evaluating best practices, the nurse can make informed decisions based on evidence, which is crucial for implementing effective interventions. This step allows the nurse to prioritize interventions that have been shown to have high success rates, optimizing resources and time management. A: Identifying obese students for close monitoring is important but does not address the need for evidence-based practices. D: Scheduling physician appointments is important, but it does not address the nurse's initial goal of implementing evidence-based practice to address rising obesity rates.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is familiar with evidence-based practice (EBP) and wants to implement it into the care of clients. Which of the following would present the biggest challenge?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because showing clients that EBP will improve their health outcomes presents the biggest challenge. Clients may have preconceived notions or resistance to change, making it difficult to convince them of the benefits of EBP. Assessing current practice and accessing resources, convincing administration, and distinguishing EBP from old standards are important steps in implementing EBP but are not as challenging as changing client perceptions.
