Community Needs Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nursing education coordinator is creating employee orientation materials for staff
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because understanding the community health practice is crucial for providing effective care. Educating staff on client demographics, health needs, and cultural considerations can enhance patient outcomes.

Question 2 of 5
The home health nursing director is conducting an educational program for registered nurses and practical nurses about Medicare reimbursement. To obtain payment for Medicare services, what must be included in the client's record?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (C): Documentation of a skilled care service provided during the visit is essential for Medicare reimbursement as it demonstrates that the services delivered were medically necessary and met the criteria for coverage. Medicare requires evidence of skilled care to justify payment. Including this documentation ensures compliance with Medicare guidelines. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: A prescription from the healthcare provider is not directly related to Medicare reimbursement. While prescriptions may be part of the client's record, they are not a mandatory requirement for Medicare payment. D: A copy of the client's health history and social is important for providing comprehensive care but not specifically required for Medicare reimbursement. This information may be part of the client's record for clinical purposes but does not directly impact reimbursement.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is screening children at a local community health clinic for infectious diseases. Which child is at highest risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, a newborn, as they are at higher risk due to potential exposure during birth from an infected mother. Newborns can acquire HBV through vertical transmission. Choice B, a 3-year-old, and choice D, a 7-year-old, are less at risk compared to newborns. Choice C, which seems to be incomplete, does not provide any relevant information.
Question 4 of 5
A community health nurse is conducting a neighborhood discussion group about disaster planning. What information regarding the transmission of anthrax should the nurse provide to the group?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Infection is acquired when anthrax spores enter a host. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis spores entering the body through inhalation, ingestion, or a skin break. Spores can remain dormant for long periods and become active in a suitable host. Explanation of incorrect choices: B: Mature anthrax bacteria do not live dormant on inanimate objects. Anthrax is primarily transmitted through contact with contaminated animal products or soil. C: Spores can survive for extended periods outside a host. This resilience is a key factor in anthrax's ability to cause infection. D: Anthrax is not transmitted through respiratory droplets from person to person. It is more commonly acquired through contact with infected animals or contaminated materials.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing an orientation class for new employees at an inner city clinic that serves a low-income population. Which information should the nurse include in the presentation to these new employees?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Basic physiologic needs are likely to be unmet in this clinic's client population. Rationale: 1. Low-income populations often face challenges meeting basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. 2. The nurse should address these unmet needs to provide holistic care. 3. Understanding the underlying issues can help tailor interventions and support for the clients. Summary: A: Lack of transportation is important but not the major impediment. C: Printed material may be less effective, but it's not the most critical issue. D: Attendance issues may be due to various reasons, not just non-compliance.
