Community Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which method is most consistent with Freire's approach to empowerment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Banking education where teachers give information, which learners then regurgitate at examination time, is not useful. Problem-solving education with active participation and ongoing dialogue encourages learners to be critical and reflective about health issues.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is trying to improve on providing culturally effective care in the community. Which behavior would be most effective to meet this goal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Unfortunately, voicing the need for valuing diversity is not always consistent with behavior. It is often useful to change communication patterns to increase client comfort, although the nurse must sometimes refuse to fulfill client demands. However, it is always crucial to exhibit sensitivity to individual concerns, cultural background, or previous life experiences.
Question 3 of 5
Which best describes the operational definition of 'health literacy' in the United States?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Literacy as a whole is typically defined as being able to read and write at the fifth-grade level. Health literacy, however, is defined as being able to access, understand, and use information to make health decisions. Only the latter type of literacy empowers clients to best act on their own behalf.
Question 4 of 5
During a health education program, a nurse continues to ask questions and encourages attendees to contribute examples from their own lives relevant to the discussion. Which best describes the rationale for the nurse's action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: One of the key concepts of community organizing practice is the principle of participation, which essentially means that active participation-or learning by doing-results in a greater likelihood of change in behavior and attitude.
Question 5 of 5
Which can be found in both the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Pender's Health Promotion Model? (Select ONE that does not apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A review of the tables will show that only the HBM includes both perceived severity and perceived susceptibility. All other factors are found in both models.
