Question 1 of 5
The nurse is developing communication materials for a community health program. What action should the nurse take to create materials incorporating the needs of the intended target population?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Using images and language that represent the target population helps in creating materials that are relatable and culturally sensitive. 2. It enhances understanding and engagement with the content, making it more effective in reaching and resonating with the intended audience. 3. This approach ensures inclusivity and promotes better communication by addressing the specific needs and preferences of the target population. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect as using medical terminology may hinder understanding for the general public. - Choice B is incorrect as passive voice can make the message less engaging and impactful. - Choice C is incorrect as relying solely on social media limits the reach to specific demographics and may exclude others.
Question 2 of 5
Which data source would a nurse use to perform an impact evaluation of an existing community health program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because using participant surveys completed prior to and 90 days following the program allows the nurse to gather data before and after the intervention to measure the program's impact over time. This approach provides a comparison of outcomes and allows for assessing sustained changes post-intervention. Choices A, C, and D do not provide a post-intervention follow-up period of 90 days to evaluate the sustained impact of the program, making them less effective for conducting a comprehensive impact evaluation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is looking at different tools to communicate efficiently with the community. Which health activity would be appropriate for the nurse to communicate using a billboard?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increasing community awareness of common health issues. Billboards are effective for reaching a wide audience quickly, making them ideal for raising awareness on common health issues. This activity does not involve providing education to a specific group (A), initiating discussion (C), or recruiting partners (D). A billboard's purpose is to inform and raise awareness, making it the most suitable choice among the options provided.
Question 4 of 5
Which information would the nurse provide to a state legislator about the need for safe staffing ratios in hospitals?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because research has shown that inadequate client-nurse ratios can lead to increased mortality, especially during critical times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This information is vital for a state legislator to understand the importance of safe staffing ratios in hospitals to protect patient safety and improve outcomes. Choice A is incorrect because a six-client-to-one nurse ratio may not be sufficient for optimal care and positive outcomes. Choice C is incorrect as it does not provide any relevant information about safe staffing ratios or their impact on patient outcomes. Choice D is incorrect as numerous studies have demonstrated that client-to-nurse staffing ratios can indeed affect client outcomes, emphasizing the importance of appropriate staffing levels.
Question 5 of 5
Which concept should the nurse consider when providing maternal-child health care to immigrants who have newly arrived in the United States from various countries around the world?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing global disparities in maternal-child deaths, which can be changed through appropriate healthcare interventions. By considering this concept, the nurse can provide more effective care to immigrant populations from diverse backgrounds. A: The rate of infant mortality is not consistent around the world, as it varies significantly based on factors such as access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and public health policies. B: This choice is incomplete and does not provide relevant information related to maternal-child health care for immigrants. C: Deaths from eclampsia being lower in Black women than White women is a specific statistic that does not address the broader issue of global disparities in maternal-child deaths.
