Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan to decrease the number of premature deaths in the community. Which of
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: I apologize for the mistake in the question prompt. The correct answer is actually D: Ensure timely and effective medical intervention and treatment for community members. The rationale is that timely medical intervention can directly impact premature deaths by addressing health issues promptly. Increasing knowledge about hospice care (choice
A) may be important but is not directly related to preventing premature deaths. Promoting healthy lifestyle choices (choice
B) is beneficial but may not address existing health conditions leading to premature deaths. Encouraging wellness centers at industrial sites (choice
C) focuses on prevention rather than immediate medical intervention needed for premature deaths.
Question 2 of 5
According to Campinha-Bacote's "Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services" model, which question by a nurse represents the "E" in the mnemonic "A-S-K-E-D" for self-examination?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it aligns with the "E" in the "ASKED" mnemonic, which stands for "Examine your motives." This question prompts the nurse to reflect on their awareness of personal prejudices and biases, essential for delivering culturally competent care.
Choice B focuses on skills rather than motives, C emphasizes knowledge rather than introspection, and D relates to actions rather than examining one's motives.
Therefore, A is the most appropriate choice for self-examination in Campinha-Bacote's model.
Question 3 of 5
Using the National CLAS as a guide, which service should be offered to clients who have LEP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Language assistance in the client's preferred language. According to the National CLAS standards, providing language assistance in the client's preferred language is essential to ensure effective communication and quality care for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). This approach promotes cultural competency and helps avoid misunderstandings or errors that can arise from language barriers. Offering interpreter services at a minimal fee (
A) may still pose a financial burden for some clients, contradicting the goal of equitable care. Using family members (
C) may compromise confidentiality and accuracy. Trained interpretation within 48 hours of hospital admission (
D) is not immediate and could lead to delayed or inadequate care for LEP clients.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse often has to make resource allocation decisions. Which of the following best describes the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The specific moral or ethical principle related to the situation. In resource allocation decisions, nurses must consider ethical principles such as justice, beneficence, and autonomy. By choosing the option that aligns with ethical principles, the nurse ensures fair and just distribution of resources.
Choice B (the cheapest, most economical approach) may compromise quality of care.
Choice C (the most rational probable outcome) may not always consider ethical implications.
Choice D (the needs of the aggregate rather than a few individuals) could violate individual rights.
Question 5 of 5
A principal comments to the school nurse that it seems there are a lot more problems with asthma
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Descriptive epidemiological study. This type of study focuses on describing patterns of disease occurrence in a population. In this scenario, the principal is making an observation about the increased prevalence of asthma cases in the school, which aligns with the purpose of a descriptive epidemiological study. This study helps in identifying trends, generating hypotheses, and informing public health interventions.
Choice B, Ecological study, examines the relationship between variables at the population level, not individual cases like in this scenario.
Choices C and D, Prospective and Retrospective cohort studies, involve following a group of individuals over time, which is not applicable to the principal's observation.
