Public Health Questions Regarding Policy and Law Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
Which communication skill should the nurse use when preparing to meet with community partners about the need for increased health access for vulnerable populations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Concisely present key issues within the first minute. This is the most effective communication skill when meeting with community partners as it grabs their attention and highlights the most important information quickly. By presenting key issues concisely, the nurse can engage the partners and convey the urgency of the situation effectively. B: Prepare an in-depth, detailed speech may overwhelm the partners with too much information and lose their interest. C: Providing a multipage fact sheet may be too overwhelming and time-consuming for the partners to digest during the meeting. D: Presenting facts and avoiding using client stories may make the information less relatable and impactful for the partners.
Question 5 of 5
The community health nurse has formed a coalition to provide programming and safe meeting spaces for adolescents after school. Which statement best describes the nurse's purpose for forming a coalition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because forming a coalition allows for pooling of resources, such as funding, expertise, and connections, increasing the chances of program success. This is a strategic approach to leverage collective strengths. Choice A is incorrect as time management is not the primary reason for forming a coalition. Choice B is incorrect as shared blame is not the main purpose but rather shared responsibility. Choice C is incorrect as the nurse's skills are not necessarily inadequate, but collaboration enhances effectiveness.
