Question 1 of 5
Which best describes where the majority of time is spent by a community health nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: While the focus is on aggregates, the majority of time is spent caring for individuals within those groups. Individual care remains central in community health nursing, despite its broader goals.
Question 2 of 5
Which describes why the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974 was unsuccessful in its efforts to increase accessibility and acceptability, improve quality, and constrain rising costs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The act grandfathered in the existing health care system, meaning it did not mandate significant changes. Without affecting the structure of care, it failed to meet its goals.
Question 3 of 5
Which is the most important component of the Planning Approach to Community Health (PATCH) model?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: PATCH emphasizes community involvement, allowing populations to take control of their health. While data-driven strategies and professional planning are important, they are not the primary focus.
Question 4 of 5
Which is the most important phase of the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) model?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The MAPP model starts by mobilizing the community to engage in planning. Without community engagement, the other phases assessments, evaluation, and visioning cannot be effectively carried out.
Question 5 of 5
Which approach has been suggested to improve the functioning of local and national health planning?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Increasing nursing involvement is a suggested way to enhance health planning. Nurses have expertise in assessing communities, identifying health needs, and implementing interventions, making them valuable contributors to planning efforts.
