Question 3 of 5
Women who develop vaginal fungal infections (commonly referred to as yeast infections) usually have a history of having been prescribed antibiotics for bacterial infections. Which component of the epidemiological triangle (agent–host–environment) contributes most to the development of vaginal infections?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is C: Host. Antibiotics disrupt the normal vaginal flora, creating an environment conducive to yeast overgrowth. The host's susceptibility to infection due to altered microbiota is the primary factor in developing vaginal fungal infections. The agent (yeast) and the environment (vaginal environment) play secondary roles. Choice A is incorrect because the yeast is the agent causing the infection, but it is the host's response that determines infection development. Choice B is incorrect because the vaginal environment is affected by antibiotics, but it is the host's response that leads to infection. Choice D is incorrect because while both agent and host are involved, it is the host's susceptibility that is the key factor.

While screening for diabetes at a community clinic, a community health nurse (CHN) found out that a new client had type 2 diabetes. The CHN then provided counselling, referred the client to an endocrinologist for initial assessment and treatment, helped with arrangements for financial assistance, arranged transportation, and booked a follow-up appointment.

In this scenario, the CHN assessed the client's needs, referred them to an endocrinologist, assisted with financial aid, arranged transportation, and scheduled a follow-up appointment, all of which are key components of case management. This approach focuses on individualized care and continuity of services to address the client's needs effectively. Choice B: Client advocacy involves supporting and promoting the rights and interests of the client. While the CHN did advocate for the client by providing assistance, the primary focus was on coordinating services, making A a more fitting option. Choice C: Holistic care considers the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of an individual's health. While the services provided were comprehensive, the focus was more on coordinating and managing the client's care rather than addressing all aspects of holistic care. Choice D: Wrap-around services involve providing a range of
Question 5 of 5
A chemical company executive asks a new public health department employee about obtaining a permit to build a new factory. Which employee statement would be the biggest cause for concern?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it provides inaccurate information regarding the permit requirement based on the number of employees. This statement shows a lack of understanding of environmental regulations. Employing fewer than 20 employees does not automatically exempt a facility from obtaining a permit for environmental compliance. Choice B is incorrect because it accurately describes the purpose of permitting in pollution control. Choice C is incorrect as it simply explains the standard process for obtaining a permit, which is not a cause for concern. Choice D is also incorrect as it outlines a standard requirement for submitting an application, which is necessary for obtaining a permit.
