Public Health Policy Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which action will the nurse take to ensure the ethical and safe use of a mobile health app by a client who needs help in managing their medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because clarifying the potential risks and benefits of the mobile health app ensures the client makes an informed decision. This promotes autonomy and informed consent while considering the client's safety and well-being. Choice B is important but only addresses confidentiality, not the full scope of ethical and safe use. Choice C is incorrect as there are other ways to monitor medication regimens. Choice D is incorrect as the primary focus should be on the client's needs and safety, not the nurse's convenience.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is conducting a health promotion campaign aimed at reducing smoking rates in a community with a high prevalence of smoking among teenagers and young adults. Which intervention is more likely to be effective with this population?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because social media is a powerful tool to reach teenagers and young adults, who are active users. Social media campaigns can engage the target population, provide interactive and engaging content, and create a sense of community support for quitting smoking. It is also cost-effective and can reach a large audience quickly. A: Distributing pamphlets may not be as engaging or effective in reaching the younger population who may not be as receptive to traditional forms of information dissemination. B: Hosting a community event is a good idea, but it may not be as effective in reaching the target population directly. Teenagers and young adults may not attend such events or may not engage actively. D: Providing financial incentives may not address the underlying reasons for smoking among teenagers and young adults. It may not lead to long-term behavior change and may not be sustainable in the long run.
Question 3 of 5
All the following findings should raise the suspicion of child abuse EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Multiple bruises of different ages over the shins are common in active children and not necessarily indicative of abuse, whereas circular scars (e.g., cigarette burns), spiral fractures (twisting injuries), and femur fractures in non-ambulatory children are highly suggestive of inflicted trauma.
Question 4 of 5
In order for children to enter school, all 50 states in the United States require proof of immunization against all the following infections EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: All 50 states require vaccinations for polio, diphtheria, rubella, and mumps, but some states allow exemptions or variations for measles, though it is still widely required. Measles is the most likely exception due to historical variation in mandates.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements regarding informed consent for medical treatment is correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: None of the options are correct: physicians must discuss alternatives, risks must be disclosed before sedation, and consent can be verbal in some cases. Thus, 'None of the above' (moved to D) is correct.
