Question 1 of 5
Which is the BEST control measure for AIDS?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Using a condom during each sexual contact. This is the best control measure for AIDS because condoms are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Condoms create a barrier that reduces the risk of HIV transmission through sexual contact. Being faithful to a single partner (A) may reduce the risk but does not eliminate it entirely. Avoiding sexual contact with commercial sex workers (C) is not a practical solution for everyone and does not address the risk of transmission in other sexual encounters. Making sure that one's partner does not have signs of AIDS (D) is unreliable as many individuals may be asymptomatic carriers of the virus.
Question 2 of 5
A barangay had an outbreak of German measles. To prevent congenital rubella, what is the BEST advice that you can give to women in the first trimester of pregnancy in the barangay?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Consult at the health center where rubella vaccine may be given. In the first trimester of pregnancy, it is crucial for women to consult with healthcare professionals to ensure they receive appropriate care and guidance. Rubella vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy, but receiving the vaccine postpartum can prevent future rubella infections. This advice is the best course of action to prevent congenital rubella. A: Advising on the sign of German Measles is important, but it does not directly prevent congenital rubella in the first trimester. B: Avoiding crowded places can help reduce the risk of exposure to infections, but it is not as effective as receiving the rubella vaccine. D: Consulting a physician for rubella immunoglobulin is not the standard recommendation for prevention in the first trimester; the focus is on vaccination preconception or postpartum.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
When developing a community profile guided by Gordon's functional health patterns, which of the following patterns would the nurse identify as focusing on the community's view of itself?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To identify the community's view of itself, the nurse would focus on the self-perception-self-concept pattern in Gordon's functional health patterns. This pattern explores how individuals perceive themselves and their identities, which is crucial in understanding the community's self-image. By assessing this pattern, the nurse can gain insights into the community's beliefs, values, and attitudes about themselves. Rationale: A: Cognitive-perceptual focuses on sensory perception and cognitive functions, not self-perception. B: Health perception-health management relates to the individual's perception of health and their behaviors towards managing it, not the community's view of itself. C: Nutritional-metabolic pertains to nutrition and metabolism, not self-perception or community identity.
Question 5 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.
