Question 1 of 5
What outcome needs to occur in order to claim that advocacy has been truly successful or effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because advocacy is truly successful when systematic social changes are made to improve quality of life. This is because advocacy aims to address underlying structural issues and create sustainable, long-term improvements. Choices A, B, and C focus on initial responses or actions, but they do not necessarily lead to lasting impact or systemic change. Audiences agreeing with the CHN, legislators discussing legislation, and people demanding better treatment are important steps in advocacy, but the ultimate goal should be to bring about tangible changes at the systemic level to achieve lasting improvements in quality of life for the community.
Question 2 of 5
A team of community health nurses (CHNs) disagree about the appropriate action to take in relation to a family with an ill family member who have chosen to continue working at their jobs instead of taking time off to care for the ill family member. One CHN states, "It is the wife's responsibility to care for her ill husband." What type of thinking is this CHN applying?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Deontological ethics. Deontological ethics focuses on the moral duty or obligation to act in a certain way, regardless of the consequences. In this scenario, the CHN is stating that it is the wife's responsibility to care for her ill husband based on a sense of duty or moral obligation, rather than considering the consequences or outcomes. This type of thinking aligns with deontological ethics as it emphasizes following moral principles or rules. Incorrect choices: A: Consequentialism - This ethical theory focuses on the outcomes or consequences of actions rather than the inherent rightness or wrongness of the actions themselves. The CHN's statement does not prioritize consequences. C: Principlism - Principlism involves ethical decision-making based on a set of ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. The CHN's statement does not directly relate to these principles. D: Utilitarianism - Utilitarianism is
Question 3 of 5
A 40-year-old Bosnian Muslim woman who does not speak English presents to a community health centre in obvious pain and requests a female health care provider. She indicates through gestures that the pain originates in either the pelvic or the genital region. Assuming several people are available to interpret, who would be the most appropriate choice of interpreter?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A female from the client's community. This choice is the most appropriate because it ensures cultural and linguistic sensitivity. Here's the rationale: 1. Cultural Sensitivity: A female from the client's community would likely understand the client's cultural nuances and beliefs, which can enhance effective communication. 2. Linguistic Competency: Being from the same community, the interpreter is more likely to speak the client's language fluently and accurately convey the client's messages. 3. Comfort and Trust: The client may feel more comfortable and trusting when communicating with someone from her own community, especially in sensitive matters like health. 4. Privacy and Dignity: Having a familiar female interpreter can help maintain the client's privacy and dignity during discussions about sensitive health issues. Summary: - Choice A: A female who does not know the client may lack cultural understanding and linguistic competency. - Choice C: A male certified as a medical interpreter may not be as culturally sensitive and might not be preferred
Question 4 of 5
Which type of conflict may be experienced when a community health nurse (CHN) who does not personally support abortion is working with a group of teenagers to teach them about sexual health and pregnancy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intergroup conflict. This is because the conflict arises between the CHN who does not support abortion (one group) and the teenagers who may have different views on the topic (another group). The conflict is between two distinct groups with differing beliefs and values. A: Interpersonal conflict involves conflict between individuals, not groups. B: Intrapersonal conflict is internal conflict within an individual, not between groups. D: Interdisciplinary conflict refers to conflict between different disciplines or professions, which is not the case in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
After surviving a house fire, a 5-year-old begins sucking their thumb and wetting their bed. What would be the best community health nurse (CHN) intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because reassurance to the family that the child's behaviors are normal reactions to trauma is crucial. This approach validates the child's feelings and provides support. Choice A is incorrect as it may shame the child for their coping mechanisms. Choice C is unnecessary and may not be indicated unless the child's mental health is severely impacted. Choice D is premature as it suggests a specific treatment without first addressing the underlying emotional needs of the child.
