Public Health Questions Regarding Policy and Law Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which component of the IHI Triple Aim is the nurse performing when working with the community to develop programs to reduce teenage smoking?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Population Health Management. The nurse is focusing on the health of the community by addressing teenage smoking, which falls under population health management. This involves improving the health outcomes of a group of individuals, in this case, teenagers, through prevention programs. System Integration and Execution (A) refer to coordinating care delivery, not community health initiatives. Redesign of Primary Care Services and Structures (C) focuses on improving primary care delivery, not community health programs. Cost Control and Platform (D) involve financial aspects and technology, not directly related to community health initiatives. In summary, the nurse's work aligns with the population health management component of the IHI Triple Aim by targeting the health of a specific population group.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
Which activity would a nurse mentor recommend to a new nurse to begin to advocate for the profession?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because educating families about the scope of nursing practice directly promotes the profession. It empowers the public to understand the valuable role nurses play in healthcare. Lobbying for health care reform (A) is important but not directly related to advocating for the nursing profession. Serving as a volunteer for a state legislator's campaign (C) can be beneficial but may not specifically focus on nursing. Setting up a flu shot clinic (D) is a valuable service but does not directly advocate for the profession to the extent that educating families does.
