Community Health Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which intervention should the public health nurse implement when attempting to address one of the leading health indicators of Healthy People 2020?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because designing and implementing a no smoking campaign at the local high school addresses the leading health indicator of reducing tobacco use, which is a priority in Healthy People 2020. This intervention directly targets a key health issue and aligns with the goals of the initiative. A, leading a water aerobics class, does not specifically address a leading health indicator of Healthy People 2020. B, teaching cultural awareness, while important, is not directly related to a specific health indicator. D, providing glucometers, does not address a leading health indicator of Healthy People 2020 and focuses on a different health issue. Therefore, C is the most appropriate intervention in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse is planning to implement an outreach program for a community group. Which criteria should the nurse clarify about the program when examining sources for funding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why choice B is the correct answer: 1. Identifying populations and individuals in need of healthcare services is crucial for securing funding as it demonstrates a clear target audience. 2. Funding sources want to ensure that their resources are directed towards those who truly need the services. 3. This criterion aligns with the fundamental principle of healthcare equity and accessibility. 4. By focusing on specific populations, the nurse can tailor the program to meet the unique needs of the community. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect as focusing on multiple health problems can dilute the program's impact and make it less targeted. - Choice C is incorrect as evaluating variations in health services is important but not directly related to securing funding for a specific outreach program. - Choice D is incorrect as offering services in various locations is practical but does not address the fundamental aspect of identifying the target population in need.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is administering the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine to a 12-month old child during the well-baby visit. Which age range should the nurse advise the parents to plan for their child to receive the MMR booster based on the current recommendations
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is D (11 to 12 years of age) because the MMR vaccine is typically given in two doses, with the second dose recommended between 4-6 years old or 11-12 years old to ensure long-term protection. This timing is based on the child's immune response and disease susceptibility. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not align with the recommended age range for the MMR booster dose. Option B suggests an earlier age range, while options A and C do not provide any specific age range for the MMR booster.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse plans to implement a community health program targeting teenage smoking. Prior to initiating this program, which information is most important COMMUNITY HEALTH PRACTICE EXAM - VERSION A for the nurse to obtain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The incidence of smoking among the teenage population in this community. This is crucial as it provides essential data on the extent of the problem, helping the nurse tailor the program to address the specific needs of the community. Understanding the prevalence of teenage smoking will guide the development of effective interventions. Incorrect answers: B: The amount of available funding is important but not as critical as understanding the prevalence of smoking in the community. C: While Healthy People objectives are important guidelines, knowing the actual incidence of smoking in the community is more directly relevant. D: This choice is incomplete and does not provide any relevant information for planning a community health program.
Question 5 of 5
A 16-year-old female client returns to the clinic because she is pregnant for the first time.Which vaccine should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: HPV vaccine. This vaccine is recommended for females up to age 26 to prevent cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases. Given the client's age and gender, HPV vaccine is the most appropriate choice. Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine (B) is not indicated in this scenario as the client is pregnant and not due for MMR vaccination. Option D, Hepatitis vaccine, is also not appropriate in this case as the client's pregnancy status should be evaluated before administering the vaccine. Option C is blank, so it is not a valid choice.
