Question 1
Which of the following is an example of a primary prevention
activity in community health?
A. Administering immunizations
B. Screening for hypertension
C. Providing rehabilitation services
D. Teaching self-care management for diabetes
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Primary prevention focuses on preventing disease before it
occurs. Immunizations are a classic example of primary prevention.
Screening for hypertension represents secondary prevention (early
detection), while teaching diabetes management and providing
rehabilitation services are examples of tertiary prevention (managing
established disease and preventing complications).
,Question 2
A nurse is providing care to a client who is postoperative. Which
action is an example of evidence-based practice?
A. Performing a procedure based on tradition
B. Using a standardized clinical guideline for pain management
C. Following orders without question
D. Using personal experience to guide care
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves integrating the
best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient
preferences. Using standardized clinical guidelines reflects EBP.
Tradition, unquestioning order-following, and personal experience
alone do not constitute evidence-based practice.
Question 3
The nurse is caring for a client with a terminal illness. Which
statement by the nurse demonstrates therapeutic communication?
A. "You will get better soon."
B. "I understand how you feel."
C. "Tell me more about what concerns you."
,D. "You should not worry about dying."
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Therapeutic communication uses open-ended questions to
encourage expression of feelings. "Tell me more about what concerns
you" is an open-ended question that invites the client to share their
thoughts and feelings. False reassurance ("You will get better soon"),
assuming understanding ("I understand how you feel"), and giving
advice ("You should not worry") are barriers to therapeutic
communication.
Question 4
A living will is best described as:
A. A document that designates a healthcare proxy
B. A legal document specifying wishes regarding life-sustaining
treatment
C. A financial power of attorney
D. A document that revokes all medical treatment
Correct Answer: B
, Rationale: A living will is a legal document that specifies an
individual's wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment and other
medical interventions if they become incapacitated. A healthcare
proxy is a person designated to make decisions (not the living will
itself). A financial power of attorney addresses financial matters, not
healthcare decisions.
Question 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the "denial" stage of grief. Which
statement by the client is consistent with this stage?
A. "I can't believe this is happening to me."
B. "I feel so angry at God."
C. "I will do anything to live longer."
D. "I accept that I am going to die."
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Denial is characterized by refusal to believe the reality of
the situation. "I can't believe this is happening to me" reflects denial.
Anger involves "Why me?" feelings. Bargaining involves trying to
negotiate for more time. Acceptance involves acknowledging the
reality.
