Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the central difference between home health care and other types of health care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because home health care is specifically provided in the client's environment, which is typically their home. This setting allows for personalized care tailored to the individual's needs and promotes independence. Choice A is incorrect as individualized care is not unique to home health care. Choice C is incorrect as reimbursement differences do not define the central difference. Choice D is incorrect as home health care is focused on individualized care in the home, not community health as a whole.
Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) is demonstrating the use of a peak flow meter to help children with chronic asthma recognize when they need to use a rescue inhaler. What is the level of prevention represented by this activity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Secondary prevention. This activity falls under secondary prevention because it aims to detect and manage asthma exacerbations early on, reducing the severity of the condition and preventing complications. It focuses on early intervention and management to prevent further deterioration in children with chronic asthma. A: Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of asthma in the first place, such as through education on asthma triggers and avoidance strategies. C: Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and improving quality of life for individuals with established asthma through measures like pulmonary rehabilitation and support services. D: This option is incorrect because the activity specifically targets early detection and management of asthma exacerbations, aligning it with the goals of secondary prevention only.
Question 3 of 5
An employee in a laboratory drops a flask, resulting in the chemical splashing into her eyes. What is the agent in this scenario?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chemical. In this scenario, the chemical is the agent causing harm by splashing into the employee's eyes. The chemical is the direct cause of the injury. The employee is the recipient of the harm, not the agent. The flask and the laboratory are simply the environment or tools involved in the incident and are not actively causing harm. Therefore, the correct identification of the agent is the chemical that splashed into the employee's eyes.
Question 4 of 5
What is the primary role of the forensic nurse in Canada?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The primary role of the forensic nurse in Canada is to serve as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). This involves providing specialized care to victims of sexual assault, collecting evidence, and working with law enforcement for legal proceedings. SANEs are trained to offer compassionate care while ensuring proper evidence collection and documentation. This role is crucial in supporting survivors and facilitating justice. The other choices, such as health promoter and disaster planner, are not the primary focus of forensic nurses in Canada and do not align with the specific responsibilities and expertise required for SANEs.
Question 5 of 5
For the community health nurse (CHN) who plans to move from an urban centre to a rural region of the country, which one of the following statements should be included in the advice on preparing for role alterations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Moving from urban to rural area means adapting to different work environment. Step 2: Rural areas often have limited resources and healthcare facilities. Step 3: Therefore, the CHN should expect less autonomy due to fewer support systems. Step 4: Option B is correct as it addresses the need to adjust to the rural setting. Summary: Option A is incorrect as assumptions about community perception may vary. Option C is incorrect as fewer clinics might mean fewer resources. Option D is incorrect as specialized skills may not be the immediate focus in a rural environment.
