Community Health Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What community health nursing activity demonstrates the role of a change partner?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because teaching anger management skills to teens in a halfway house involves collaborating with individuals to promote behavioral change, demonstrating the role of a change partner. Administering vaccinations (A) is more of a healthcare provider role. Analyzing community problems (B) is part of assessment and planning, not direct change partnership. Establishing a care center (C) addresses a need but does not necessarily involve actively facilitating behavior change.
Question 2 of 5
Which data source would most likely be eliminated by the community health nurse (CHN) who wishes to conduct a needs assessment on a limited budget?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Community forums. Community forums typically involve a larger number of participants and may require more resources to organize and conduct compared to other options. By eliminating community forums, the CHN can save costs and still gather valuable insights through other methods like examining community indicators, conducting focus groups, and administering surveys. These alternatives are more cost-effective and efficient for conducting a needs assessment on a limited budget. Focus groups allow for in-depth discussions, surveys provide quantitative data, and examining community indicators offers existing data for analysis, making them more suitable choices for a constrained budget.
Question 3 of 5
What constitutes tertiary prevention by a community health nurse (CHN) who wants to promote improved health in obese children?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing the impact of an already established disease or condition. Step 2: Lifestyle improvement programs for obese children fall under tertiary prevention by helping manage and improve their condition. Step 3: Establishing these programs through local youth organizations allows for wide-reaching support and resources. Step 4: Evaluating food intake (B) is more related to primary prevention. Providing educational programs to overweight parents (C) is secondary prevention. Measuring BMI in well-child assessments (D) is more about early detection rather than tertiary prevention. Therefore, option A is the correct choice for promoting improved health in obese children through tertiary prevention.
Question 4 of 5
According to the Comprehensive School Health Framework of health promotion, what is the correct definition of primordial prevention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Primordial prevention focuses on preventing risk factors before they even develop. This aligns with the idea of promoting healthy behaviors and environments to avoid the emergence of risk factors. Choice A focuses on education, not prevention. Choice C involves screening, not prevention. Choice D aims at reducing complications, not preventing risk factors. Primordial prevention is about addressing root causes to promote long-term health.
Question 5 of 5
Community health nurses (CHNs) who work with older persons who have cognitive impairment and their caregivers should be aware of the difference between depression, delirium, and dementia, in order to identify the health concern accurately and intervene accordingly. What description relates specifically to dementia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Dementia is not a mood disorder (Choice A), as it primarily affects cognitive functions, not emotions. 2. Dementia is not acute confusion (Choice B), which is characteristic of delirium, a sudden change in mental status. 3. Dementia is more than just forgetfulness (Choice C), as it involves a decline in multiple cognitive abilities. 4. Choice D is correct as dementia is characterized by progressive intellectual impairment, affecting memory, language, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions.
