Question 1 of 5
Who serves as the Chairman of the Municipal Health Board?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Mayor serves as the Chairman of the Municipal Health Board because they are the head of the local government and responsible for decision-making. The Mayor has the authority to oversee and lead various municipal departments, including public health. The Municipal Health Officer (Choice B) is responsible for implementing health programs but does not necessarily serve as the Chairman. The Public Health Nurse (Choice C) and Any qualified physician (Choice D) may have important roles within the health board but do not typically hold the position of Chairman.
Question 2 of 5
The public health nurse is the supervisor of rural health midwives. Which of the following is a supervisory function of the public health nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Providing technical guidance to the midwife. This is a supervisory function as it involves overseeing and advising the midwife on technical aspects of their work. This ensures quality and consistency in healthcare delivery. Referring cases (A) is more of a collaborative function. Providing nursing care (C) is a direct care function. Formulating training programs (D) is a managerial function, not a direct supervisory role.
Question 3 of 5
One of the participants in a hilot training class asked you to whom she should refer a patient in labor who develops a complication. You will answer, to the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for choice C (Municipal health officer) being correct: 1. Municipal health officers have authority over health services in the local government. 2. They are responsible for overseeing healthcare facilities and responding to emergencies. 3. Municipal health officers can coordinate with hospitals and specialists for complex cases. 4. Referring a labor complication case to a municipal health officer ensures proper management and timely intervention. Summary: A (Public health nurse) lacks authority to manage complex cases. B (Rural health midwife) may not have the resources for all complications. D (Any of these health professionals) is too general, and specific expertise is needed. C is the best choice due to authority and coordination capabilities.
Question 4 of 5
As the public health nurse in a municipality with a total population of about 20,000 and 3 health midwives among the RHU personnel, how many more midwife positions will the RHU need?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1. With a total population of about 20,000, the ideal ratio is 1 midwife per 5,000 people. Currently, there are 3 midwives for 20,000 people (1:6,666). To reach the ideal ratio, the RHU needs 1 more midwife. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they would exceed the ideal ratio of 1 midwife per 5,000 people, leading to inefficiency and potentially underutilizing resources.
Question 5 of 5
If the RHU needs additional midwife items, to whom should you submit the request for approval?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Municipal Health Board. The rationale is as follows: 1. Municipal Health Boards oversee health services at the local level, including midwifery services. 2. Submitting the request to the Municipal Health Board ensures it is addressed promptly and efficiently. 3. Rural Health Unit (A) may not have the authority to approve additional midwife items. 4. District Health Office (B) and Provincial Health Office (C) are higher levels of authority and may not handle local requests for midwife items.
