Question 3 of 5
Which is the primary goal of community health nursing?

Rationale: The correct answer is B: To enhance the capacity of individuals, families, and communities to cope with their health needs. Community health nursing focuses on empowering individuals, families, and communities to take control of their health and well-being.

Question 4 of 5
RA 1054 is also known as the Occupational Health Act. Aside from the number of employees, what other factor must be considered in determining the occupational health privileges to which the workers will be entitled?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Location of the workplace in relation to health facilities. This factor is crucial in determining the occupational health privileges as it directly impacts the accessibility and availability of medical care for the workers. Proximity to health facilities can significantly affect the speed and quality of medical assistance in case of emergencies or health issues. Choice A (Type of occupation) is not directly related to the access to health facilities and does not determine the entitlement to occupational health privileges. Choice C (Classification of the business enterprise based on net profit) is unrelated to the workers' health needs and privileges. Choice D (Sex and age composition of employees) is discriminatory and irrelevant in determining occupational health privileges.
