NR 360 Unit 3 Discussion: Healthcare
Technology; Local, National, & Global
Considerations (2 Versions).
Practice Exam Questions with Rationales
Question 1
A public health nurse is planning a mass inoculation program for a new strain of
influenza. Which public health data would be MOST important to determine the
need for such a program?
A. The hospital's operating budget
B. Employee satisfaction surveys
C. Population demographics, vaccine history, community make-up, and incidence
of the new influenza strain
D. The number of available hospital beds
Answer: C. Population demographics, vaccine history, community make-up, and
incidence of the new influenza strain
Rationale: When implementing a mass inoculation program, public health data must
include population demographics (age brackets), vaccine history, and community make-
up . Data should also include how diverse the population is, travel patterns, and which
areas are most vulnerable . This information helps identify high-risk groups and
determine program priorities.
Question 2
Which of the following data sources would be MOST appropriate for locating
public health data for a mass inoculation program?
, A. Social media platforms
B. Hospital discharge summaries only
C. CDC Wonder, state public health websites, and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention
D. Employee health records only
Answer: C. CDC Wonder, state public health websites, and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
Rationale: CDC Wonder is a database created by the CDC that provides information
and resources to the public, including data on diseases, the environment, mortality, and
populations . Public health data can also be obtained from state public health websites
and the CDC .
Question 3
What data would be collected to determine the success of a mass inoculation
program?
A. The number of people who declined the vaccine
B. The cost of the vaccination program
C. The number of new cases of the influenza strain in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated
populations and the geographic distribution of new cases
D. The number of healthcare workers employed
Answer: C. The number of new cases of the influenza strain in vaccinated vs.
unvaccinated populations and the geographic distribution of new cases
Rationale: The success of a mass inoculation program is determined by tracking how
many people submit cases of the same influenza and in what geographic area . A lower
incidence rate in the vaccinated population and cases spreading further from the
program location indicate success . Surveillance monitors the impact of control
measures like vaccinations .
