Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Management Questions
Question 1 of 5
What hazard tends to particularly affect employees who work in two-week shifts?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Psychosocial hazards. Employees working in two-week shifts are more prone to psychosocial hazards such as stress, fatigue, and social isolation due to disrupted sleep patterns and lack of work-life balance. This can lead to mental health issues and decreased job performance. Biological hazards (A), environmental hazards (B), and physical hazards (C) are less likely to be significantly impacted by the specific work schedule and are not as directly related to the challenges faced by employees working in two-week shifts.
Question 2 of 5
Research demonstrates that exercise is important for general wellness and weight control. The community health nurse (CHN) can use this information to implement primary prevention by doing which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because drafting policies for increases in noncompetitive physical activity programs aligns with primary prevention efforts by promoting exercise at a community level. This approach targets a wider population and aims to prevent weight-related issues from occurring in the first place. A is incorrect because developing individualized exercise programs for overweight children is more of a secondary prevention strategy rather than primary prevention. C is incorrect as monitoring body mass index in children is important but falls under early detection rather than primary prevention. D is incorrect as notifying parents of their child's height-weight scale in comparison with national norms is more about raising awareness rather than implementing primary prevention strategies.
Question 3 of 5
How is health promotion distinct from health protection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Health promotion focuses on enabling increased control over determinants of health, such as individual behaviors, social and economic factors, and environmental conditions. This empowers individuals and communities to make healthier choices and improve overall health outcomes. Choice A is incorrect as it confuses health promotion with quality assurance in healthcare. Choice D is incorrect as it describes healthcare delivery, not health promotion. Choice B is incorrect as it does not provide any relevant information about the distinction between health promotion and health protection.
Question 4 of 5
How is the contemplation stage for changing behaviour different from the precontemplation stage for changing behaviour?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because during the contemplation stage, the client is actively thinking about changing their behavior within the next 6 months. This indicates a higher level of readiness and intention compared to the precontemplation stage where the client is not yet considering changing their behavior. Choice A is incorrect because the contemplation stage involves considering behavior change within the next 6 months. Choice B is incorrect as the contemplation stage actually signifies a moderate readiness for change. Choice C is incorrect as the precontemplation stage reflects a lack of readiness to change behavior.
Question 5 of 5
The Canadian Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice identifies a community health nurse (CHN)'s role as advocate in creating public policy, as supporter of community
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because crib/bed safety initiatives for infants and young children align with the CHN's role as an advocate for public policy. This initiative prioritizes community health and prevention, addressing a specific health concern. It also emphasizes the importance of creating a safe environment for vulnerable populations. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to advocating for public policy changes that promote community health and safety. Immunizations and behavior change are important aspects of public health but do not specifically focus on advocating for policy changes.
