RN Evidence-Based Practice in Community and Public Health Assessment Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which activity would the nurse recognize as meeting the Healthy People 2030 goal of civic participation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Voting in local, state, and federal elections. This aligns with the Healthy People 2030 goal of civic participation as voting is a fundamental way for individuals to engage in the democratic process and contribute to shaping public policies. It reflects active participation in decision-making processes that impact community health. Planting a home garden (B) promotes healthy eating but does not directly relate to civic participation. Running in a road race (C) focuses on physical activity. Keeping vaccinations current (D) is important for individual health but does not specifically address civic participation. Voting is essential for advocating for policies that promote population health.
Question 2 of 5
Using the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Culture of Health Action Framework, which action would the nurse take when engaged in cross-sector collaboration to reduce overdose deaths in adolescents?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because in the Culture of Health Action Framework, cross-sector collaboration involves working with multiple sectors such as schools and law enforcement to address health issues. By collaborating with schools and law enforcement to reduce drug overdoses in adolescents, the nurse can implement prevention strategies, education programs, and enforcement measures to tackle the issue comprehensively. This approach aligns with the framework's emphasis on partnership and collective action across sectors. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically involve cross-sector collaboration with schools and law enforcement, which is essential for addressing overdose deaths effectively in adolescents. Encouraging community members to vote on a referendum for substance misuse education (A) may be important but lacks the multi-sectoral approach. Supporting research for substance misuse prevention programs (C) and creating community-based substance misuse treatment programs (D) are valuable initiatives but do not directly address the need for cross-sector collaboration as required in the given context.
Question 3 of 5
How does the first step of the nursing process inform community health interventions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because assessment in the first step of the nursing process provides vital data for identifying community health issues. By collecting information on demographics, health behaviors, and environmental factors, nurses can recognize patterns and prioritize areas for intervention. Planning (B) involves setting goals based on assessment data, implementation (C) involves executing interventions based on the plan, and evaluation (D) assesses the effectiveness of interventions but does not directly inform the identification of health issues.
Question 4 of 5
Which of Gordon's functional health patterns is the nurse assessing by looking at community disaster plans and public safety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Value-belief. By looking at community disaster plans and public safety, the nurse is assessing the community's values and beliefs related to health and safety. This pattern involves examining cultural, religious, and spiritual beliefs that influence health decisions and behaviors. The other choices are incorrect because coping-stress tolerance (A) focuses on individual coping mechanisms, health perception-health management (B) involves personal beliefs and behaviors related to health, and D is not provided.
Question 5 of 5
The community health nurse is performing a community health needs assessment prior to planning a nutrition program for older adults. Which factors will the nurse identify in this needs assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. In a community health needs assessment for a nutrition program, identifying strengths helps leverage existing community assets, resources ensure feasibility and sustainability, and current needs determine areas for intervention. Option A does not include strengths, which are crucial for asset-based community development. Option B includes land mass, which is not directly relevant to a nutrition program. Option C includes enthusiasm, which is subjective and not a concrete factor for planning a program.
