Community and Public Health Nursing Evidence for Practice Questions
Question 1 of 5
Who is the Chairman of the Municipal Health Board?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mayor. The Chairman of the Municipal Health Board is typically the Mayor as per most municipal governance structures. The Mayor is a key official responsible for overseeing various aspects of the municipality, including public health. The Mayor's role in leading the board ensures accountability and alignment with the overall municipal policies and goals. Other choices are incorrect because: B: Municipal Health Officer may be a member of the board, but not necessarily the Chairman. C: Public Health Nurse typically does not hold the position of Chairman. D: Any qualified physician may serve on the board, but not necessarily as the Chairman, as the role is usually held by an elected official like the Mayor.
Question 2 of 5
There are3 health midwives among the RHU personnel. How many more midwife items will the RHU need?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The RHU currently has 3 health midwives, so to find out how many more midwife items are needed, we subtract the current number from the desired total. The question states that there are 3 health midwives among the RHU personnel, so the RHU already has 3 midwives. To meet the goal of having a total of 5 midwives, the RHU needs 2 more midwives. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 2. Choice A (1) is incorrect because we need 2 more midwives, not just 1. Choice C (3) is incorrect because the RHU already has 3 midwives and needs a total of 5. Choice D (4) is incorrect as the RHU only needs 2 more midwives to reach the goal of 5.
Question 3 of 5
As an epidemiologist, the nurse is responsible for reporting cases or notifiable diseases. What law mandates reporting cases of notifiable diseases?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: RA 1054. The rationale behind this is that RA 1054, also known as the Reporting of Communicable Diseases Act, specifically mandates the reporting of notifiable diseases to the Department of Health. Acts 3573, R, and 3753 do not pertain to the reporting of notifiable diseases, making them incorrect choices. RA 1054 ensures timely reporting of such diseases for effective public health surveillance and control measures.
Question 4 of 5
The public health nurse is responsible for presenting the municipal health statistics using graphs and tables. To compare the frequency of the leading causes of mortality in the municipality, which graph will you prepare?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct graph to compare the frequency of leading causes of mortality is a bar graph (Choice B). Bar graphs are ideal for comparing different categories of data, such as mortality causes. Each bar represents a category, making it easy to see and compare frequencies visually. Line graphs (Choice A) are more suitable for showing trends over time. Pie charts (Choice C) are used to show proportions of a whole, not ideal for comparing frequencies. Scatter diagrams (Choice D) are used to show the relationship between two continuous variables, not suitable for comparing frequencies.
Question 5 of 5
In which step are plans formulated for solving community problems?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Community organization. In this step, plans are formulated for solving community problems by involving community members in identifying issues, setting goals, and developing strategies. Mobilization (choice A) focuses on recruiting community members for action. Follow-up/extension (choice C) involves evaluating and extending programs. Core group formation (choice D) pertains to establishing a core team to lead the community effort. However, none of these options specifically address the formulation of plans for solving community problems, making B the most appropriate choice.
