Question 2 of 5
On the second day after a disaster, a disaster relief worker is found to be irritable and having difficulty focusing. The worker denies having any problem other than a headache. Which is the best action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the worker is displaying signs of psychological stress, such as irritability and difficulty focusing. Recommending time off to relax can help prevent burnout and improve mental well-being. Choice A is incorrect because dismissing the worker's symptoms may exacerbate the issue. Choice C is incorrect because the worker's symptoms are not solely due to multitasking. Choice D is incorrect because while dehydration could be a factor, addressing psychological stress is a more immediate concern in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
What practice is being implemented by the occupational health nurse (OHN) who removes a foreign body from a client's eye?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Secondary prevention. The OHN removing a foreign body from a client's eye is implementing secondary prevention. This is because secondary prevention focuses on early detection and treatment of health issues to prevent further complications. In this scenario, the OHN is intervening to address the existing problem (foreign body in the eye) before it can cause any further damage or complications. A: Primary care focuses on providing general healthcare services to promote overall health and prevent diseases. B: Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of health issues before they occur through education, vaccinations, etc. D: Tertiary prevention involves managing and treating existing health conditions to prevent further complications.
Question 4 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.

Which public health nurse leader was instrumental in establishing the first integrated basic nursing degree program in Canada?
Correct Answer: B

Edna Moore and Lillian Wald were significant figures in nursing history, but they did not have direct involvement in establishing the first integrated basic nursing degree program in Canada.
