Public Health Questions Regarding Policy and Law Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which category of public health policy is the nurse engaged in while performing lipid profile testing at a community health fair?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Screening. The nurse is engaged in screening during the lipid profile testing at a community health fair. Screening involves identifying individuals at risk of a particular health condition before symptoms appear. In this case, the nurse is identifying individuals with potential lipid profile abnormalities. Regulation (A) involves creating and enforcing rules and laws. Education (C) involves providing information to promote health awareness. Preventative treatment (D) involves interventions to prevent a health condition after risk factors are identified. However, in this scenario, the nurse is primarily focused on early identification rather than treatment.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse using the CDC's Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health has chosen the evaluation design in collaboration with program partners. Which evaluation activity represents the next step using the framework?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because preparing data collection tools is the next step after choosing the evaluation design in the CDC's Framework for Program Evaluation. This step involves determining what data needs to be collected, how it will be collected, and from which sources. It is crucial for ensuring that the evaluation process is systematic and the data collected is reliable and valid. Developing program goals and objectives (choice A) typically comes before choosing the evaluation design. Creating a logic model (choice B) is important but usually occurs before selecting the evaluation design. Sharing results with partners and the community (choice C) happens after the evaluation is conducted and the data is analyzed.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an internal funding stream the nurse could utilize for community health programs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Earned income. Nurses can generate internal funding for community health programs through services provided, such as health screenings or educational workshops, which generate revenue. Grants (A) and sponsorships (B) are external funding sources. Indirect funding (D) typically refers to funds allocated for general operational expenses, not specific community health programs.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is analyzing the sustainability of a community health program. Which finding would indicate that a program may need to be discontinued?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B (Program goals and objectives have been met) Rationale: 1. Achieving program goals means the initial purpose has been fulfilled. 2. With goals met, continuing the program may not be necessary. 3. Further resources may be allocated to other programs. 4. Discontinuing a successful program allows for redirection of efforts. Summary: A: Partner support indicates sustainability, not discontinuation. C: Need for new funding sources does not necessarily warrant discontinuation. D: Insufficient information given to determine if this indicates discontinuation.
Question 5 of 5
Which action by the nurse is an example of community health program sustainability?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because soliciting another funding source demonstrates the nurse's effort in ensuring the sustainability of the community health program. By seeking additional funding, the program can continue to operate and benefit the community in the long term. Choice B is incorrect because relying solely on the same funding source may not guarantee long-term sustainability. Choice C is incorrect as decreasing the number of community partners may limit the program's reach and impact on the community. Choice D is incorrect as discontinuing the program due to lack of interest does not contribute to program sustainability.
