Community Health Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following represents a challenge when gathering background statistical population-based information on specific minority aggregates?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Gathering background statistical information requires access to data on health outcomes. 2. Small communities may have limited resources for data collection and analysis. 3. Lack of comparative health information can hinder understanding of health disparities. 4. Access to reliable data is essential for evidence-based decision-making. 5. Difficulty in finding data for small communities poses a challenge in addressing health disparities. Summary: Option C is correct as it highlights the challenge of finding comparative health information for small communities, hindering efforts to gather background statistical population-based information. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly address the specific challenge mentioned in the question.
Question 2 of 5
A group leader attempts to resolve conflict among members by asking questions to uncover the meanings underlying their interactions and restating them for verification. This behaviour would fall into which classification?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct classification for the group leader's behavior is "Clarifying" because they are asking questions to uncover and verify the meanings underlying interactions. This process helps to clarify misunderstandings, promote understanding, and facilitate resolution. A: Advising is incorrect because the leader is not providing direct advice or suggestions. B: Analyzing is incorrect as the leader is not dissecting or interpreting the situation but rather seeking clarification. D: Confronting is incorrect since the leader is not directly challenging or accusing members but aiming to facilitate understanding.
Question 3 of 5
A CHN desires greater understanding of the physiological effects of selected chemicals on humans. Which specialist would provide the best source of information about this subject?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A toxicologist. A toxicologist specializes in studying the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms, including humans. They have expertise in understanding the physiological effects of chemicals on the human body, making them the best source of information for the CHN's query. A chemist (choice A) focuses more on the composition and properties of chemicals rather than their effects on humans. An epidemiologist (choice B) studies the patterns and causes of diseases in populations, not specifically the physiological effects of chemicals. A pharmacologist (choice C) specializes in studying drugs and their effects, which is different from the broader focus of toxicologists on various chemicals and their impacts on health.
Question 4 of 5
Which action proposed to prevent problems related to coronary artery disease (CAD) in a region with a high prevalence is most likely to have positive outcomes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it addresses prevention strategies at multiple levels - early education in schools, community-wide awareness through presentations, and targeted education for high-risk populations. Introducing heart health information in Grade 1 can establish lifelong healthy habits. Presentations for the community will reach a wider audience, promoting awareness and behavior change. Special education sessions for high-risk populations ensure tailored interventions. Choice B focuses on online activities and screenings, which may not be as effective in reaching the entire population. Choice C includes some good components like educational materials and screenings but lacks the comprehensive approach of choice A. Choice D is more focused on treatment and management rather than prevention, which is not as effective in addressing the high prevalence of CAD in the region.
Question 5 of 5
The transfer of antibodies from the administration of an antibody-containing preparation such as the COVID-19 immunization is an example of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Passive immunization involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies to confer immediate protection, as seen in the administration of antibody-containing preparations like the COVID-19 immunization. This process does not involve the recipient's immune system actively producing antibodies, distinguishing it from active immunization (choice A). Long-lasting immunity (choice B) typically results from active immunization. Natural immunity (choice C) is acquired through exposure to a pathogen, not through the transfer of antibodies. Thus, the correct choice is D: Passive immunization.
