Public Health Questions Regarding Policy and Law Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is the best example of a Health in All Policies approach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it exemplifies the Health in All Policies approach by promoting health considerations in decision-making across different sectors. By lobbying for sidewalks and bike paths, the nurse is advocating for policies that prioritize public health by promoting physical activity and safety. This approach addresses the social determinants of health and benefits the community as a whole. Choices A, B, and C focus on specific health services or programs, which are important but do not demonstrate the comprehensive and integrated approach of Health in All Policies.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements regarding domestic battering of women is correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abused women often present with vague or nonspecific complaints (e.g., headaches, fatigue) rather than directly reporting abuse, due to fear or shame. The other statements are incorrect: abuse is often recurrent, prevalence is higher than 2%, and alcohol is a risk factor but not the majority cause.
Question 3 of 5
