Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
Who achieved widespread recognition during the Civil War, distributing supplies to wounded soldiers and caring for the casualties with the help of a team of nurses?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Clara Barton. Barton achieved widespread recognition during the Civil War for her efforts in distributing supplies to wounded soldiers and caring for casualties with a team of nurses. She is known as the "Angel of the Battlefield" for her dedication and service during the war. Dorothea Dix was known for her advocacy for mental health reform, not specifically for her work during the Civil War. Lemuel Shattuck was a public health advocate but did not have a direct role in providing care during the Civil War. Lillian Wald was a pioneering public health nurse but her work was mainly focused on urban healthcare reform, not specifically during the Civil War. Clara Barton's direct involvement and impact during the Civil War make her the correct choice.
Question 2 of 5
Which best describes a nongovernmental organization?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it accurately describes a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that relies on endowed funds or private fundraising to address various needs. NGOs are independent of government control and often operate on donations from individuals or private organizations. A is incorrect because NGOs are not restricted to operating in just one country. B is incorrect because while NGOs may use private resources, they are not necessarily exclusive to private sources. C is incorrect as it describes a different type of organization focused on data collection, not necessarily providing services or addressing needs directly.
Question 3 of 5
Which public health entities are often regulated by the U.S. federal government? (Selectall that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Food. The U.S. federal government regulates food through agencies like the FDA and USDA to ensure safety and quality. Medications are regulated by the FDA, not the federal government as a whole. School health and devices are typically regulated at the state or local level, not by the U.S. federal government. Food regulation is crucial for protecting public health through oversight of food production, labeling, and distribution.
Question 4 of 5
Which best exemplifies a public health goal in the United States?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it aligns with a public health goal by promoting community-wide fitness to address a prevalent health issue (obesity) in a low-income neighborhood. This initiative focuses on prevention and improving the overall health of the population rather than individual treatment. It addresses social determinants of health and aims to create a supportive environment for healthy behaviors. Choice A is incorrect as it pertains to individual healthcare goals rather than public health initiatives. Choice B focuses on access to health insurance, which is important but not a direct public health goal. Choice C involves developing treatments for individual symptoms rather than a population-level approach to health promotion.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse works predominantly with clients who are active military personnel. Which publically funded program provides health benefits to this population?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: TRICARE. TRICARE is a publically funded program specifically designed to provide health benefits to active military personnel and their families. Medicare is for individuals aged 65 and older, Medicaid is for low-income individuals, and CHIP is for children in low-income families. TRICARE is the only option tailored to meet the needs of active military personnel.
