Community hospitals offer a range of services, including emergency care and inpatient services. 5. Government-run facilities (Choice A) can be primary or secondary facilities. 6. Primary facilities do not primarily serve as training facilities (Choice C). 7. Outpatient services (Choice B) are not exclusive to primary facilities.

Question 2 of 5
Who is the Chairman of the Municipal Health Board?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mayor. The Chairman of the Municipal Health Board is typically the Mayor as per most municipal governance structures. The Mayor is a key official responsible for overseeing various aspects of the municipality, including public health. The Mayor's role in leading the board ensures accountability and alignment with the overall municipal policies and goals. Other choices are incorrect because: B: Municipal Health Officer may be a member of the board, but not necessarily the Chairman. C: Public Health Nurse typically does not hold the position of Chairman. D: Any qualified physician may serve on the board, but not necessarily as the Chairman, as the role is usually held by an elected official like the Mayor.
Question 3 of 5
The public health nurse is the supervisor of rural health midwives. Which of the following is a supervisory function of the pubic health nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because formulating and implementing training programs for midwives is a key supervisory function of the public health nurse. This function involves ensuring that midwives have the necessary skills and knowledge to provide quality care. Referring cases to the midwife (A) is a part of the nurse's coordination role, not supervisory. Providing technical guidance (B) is more of a support function rather than a supervisory one. Providing nursing care (C) to cases referred by the midwife is not a supervisory function but rather a direct patient care responsibility.
Question 4 of 5
There are3 health midwives among the RHU personnel. How many more midwife items will the RHU need?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The RHU currently has 3 health midwives, so to find out how many more midwife items are needed, we subtract the current number from the desired total. The question states that there are 3 health midwives among the RHU personnel, so the RHU already has 3 midwives. To meet the goal of having a total of 5 midwives, the RHU needs 2 more midwives. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 2. Choice A (1) is incorrect because we need 2 more midwives, not just 1. Choice C (3) is incorrect because the RHU already has 3 midwives and needs a total of 5. Choice D (4) is incorrect as the RHU only needs 2 more midwives to reach the goal of 5.
Question 5 of 5
As an epidemiologist, the nurse is responsible for reporting cases or notifiable diseases. What law mandates reporting cases of notifiable diseases?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: RA 1054. The rationale behind this is that RA 1054, also known as the Reporting of Communicable Diseases Act, specifically mandates the reporting of notifiable diseases to the Department of Health. Acts 3573, R, and 3753 do not pertain to the reporting of notifiable diseases, making them incorrect choices. RA 1054 ensures timely reporting of such diseases for effective public health surveillance and control measures.
