Question 1 of 5
This brought the total number of polio cases to 12 in the city. The 2 new cases of polio represent which rate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Incidence. Incidence refers to the rate of new cases of a disease within a specific population over a set period. In this case, the 2 new polio cases represent the incidence rate as they are new cases added to the existing total of 10 cases, bringing the total to 12. Summary: - Choice B: Break out does not apply as it typically refers to a sudden increase in the number of cases. - Choice C: Pandemic is incorrect as it refers to a widespread outbreak affecting a large population. - Choice D: Disaster is not relevant in the context of disease rates.
Question 2 of 5
A community nurse is conducting an educational program on various environmental pollutants. The nurse should emphasize the clients who have which of the following disorders that are especially vulnerable in the ozone effects.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Asthma. Ozone can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma due to its irritating effects on the airways. Asthma patients are more vulnerable to ozone-induced respiratory symptoms. Chicken pox (A), Scarlet Fever (C), and Malaria (D) are not directly affected by ozone exposure. Asthma is the most relevant disorder in this context due to its respiratory nature and susceptibility to ozone effects.
Question 3 of 5
A community nurse wants to obtain an overview of the community, but it has limited time and resources. Which of the following methods would the nurse most likely use to obtain this information?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Windshield survey. A windshield survey involves driving or walking around the community to observe its physical and social characteristics, such as housing conditions, amenities, and population demographics. This method allows the nurse to quickly gather valuable information about the community's overall health and social needs. Asking a coworker for help (B) may provide some insights but may not offer a comprehensive overview. Skipping the community (C) would neglect the nurse's responsibility to understand the community's needs. Option D is incomplete, making it an invalid choice.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing education about communicable diseases. During which of the following status is the period in which a disease is contagious?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Communicability period. This is the period during which a disease can be transmitted from an infected person to others. The incubation period (A) is the time between exposure to the pathogen and the onset of symptoms. Vector (C) refers to an organism that carries and transmits the disease but does not determine the contagious period. Immune duration (D) is the length of time a person is protected from the disease after being exposed or vaccinated and does not relate to the contagiousness of the disease.
Question 5 of 5
How would the community health nurse demonstrate the public health nursing practice
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because public health nursing practice involves assessing the needs of the community as a whole and providing care based on those needs. This includes conducting community assessments to understand the population's health issues and developing interventions to address them. Choice A is vague and does not address the core principles of public health nursing. Choice C is incorrect as public health nursing is a recognized specialty within the nursing profession. Choice D is incorrect because public health nursing practice is collaborative and involves working with the community to identify and address its needs, rather than deciding independently.
