Public Health Policy Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing homecare instructions with a client who was treated on a medical unit for an
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because arranging for home monitoring and telehealth follow-up is the most practical and effective way to ensure the client receives proper follow-up care at home. This option addresses the client's immediate needs by providing ongoing monitoring and healthcare services remotely. It also promotes continuity of care and allows for early intervention if any issues arise. A is incorrect because it does not address the immediate need for follow-up care. B is incorrect as it does not provide a specific intervention for follow-up care. C is incorrect because meeting with community leaders does not directly address the client's individual follow-up care needs.
Question 2 of 5
Which action can the community health nurse take to help an unemployed client without health insurance mitigate the high cost of prescription drugs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. By speaking with the provider about lower-cost alternatives, the community health nurse can help the client access more affordable prescription drugs. This approach addresses the financial barrier of high drug costs directly, ensuring the client can still receive necessary medications. A: Reducing spending on food and other items may not be feasible or sustainable for the client and may not directly address the issue of high prescription drug costs. B: Asking the client which medications they feel are not necessary could potentially compromise the client's health if essential medications are skipped. D: Emphasizing the importance of taking all medications is valid but does not address the financial burden of high drug costs.
Question 3 of 5
A client in a community health center is receiving team-based care for primary care needs and management
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Medical home. In a medical home model, the client receives comprehensive, coordinated, and patient-centered care from a team of healthcare providers, including nurses, social workers, and other professionals. The nurse referring the client to the social worker aligns with the collaborative approach of a medical home. Choice A is incorrect because it does not specify the holistic care approach of a medical home. Choice B, Accountable Care Organization, focuses more on payment and quality measures. Choice C, Integrated Service Line, relates to a specific service area rather than the overall primary care delivery model.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse evaluates how activities were implemented and what resources were needed to carry out a community health program. Which type of evaluation is the nurse using?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Process evaluation. The nurse is assessing how activities were implemented and the resources needed, which falls under process evaluation. This type of evaluation focuses on the implementation of the program to ensure it is being carried out as planned. Formative evaluation focuses on improving the program during development, outcome evaluation assesses the results achieved, and impact evaluation looks at the broader effects beyond the immediate outcomes. The nurse in this scenario is specifically evaluating the process of implementation, making process evaluation the most appropriate choice.
Question 5 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.
