rural community?
| |
a. The residents of the community are subject to environmental
| | | | | | | | | |
hazards.
b. It takes longer than 30 minutes to get from the community to health

care services. |
c. The community has less than 20,000 residents.

d. The residents of the community say, "This is smaller than where I
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
grew up." - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ANS: B
| | | | |
All of the descriptions could be used in an attempt to define "rural," but
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
each aspect has problems. A definition of "rural" has not yet been
| | | | | | | | | | | |
decided. However, in relation to health care, the time needed to get to a
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
health care facility has a major influence on care outcomes.
| | | | | | | | | |
2. What is the poverty rate in rural areas?
| | | | | | | |
a. 10%
|
,b. 20% |
c. 30%
|
d. 40% - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ANS: D
| | | | |
National estimates report that in rural areas, more than 40% of all
| | | | | | | | | | | |
families live below the poverty level.
| | | | |
3. Why are children at risk on their own family's farm?
| | | | | | | | | |
a. Children often help with the work without much regard for training or
| | | | | | | | | | | |
safety.
|
b. It is expected that children fulfill the roles that are assigned to them.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
c. Machinery can injure someone faster than a parent can turn the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
machine off. |
d. Parents are too busy completing their own tasks to supervise the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
children. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ANS: A | | | |
Farming is one of the four most dangerous industries. Agricultural work
| | | | | | | | | | |
is inherently dangerous but also must be performed under adverse
| | | | | | | | | |
conditions such as mud or extreme heat or cold. On family farms,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
spouses, children, and other relatives often help without much regard
| | | | | | | | | |
to competency, training, or safety. Of all industries, agriculture has by
| | | | | | | | | | |
far the highest number of injuries and deaths among children.
| | | | | | | | |
4. An adolescent in a rural community has recently committed suicide.
| | | | | | | | | | |
What is the significance of this event in the community?
| | | | | | | | |
,a. Rural residents are less religious than urban residents and less
| | | | | | | | | | |
capable of coping with the loss.
| | | | |
b. Because of the size of the community, it is likely that no one will
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
discuss what has happened.
| | |
c. There could be a cluster of such deaths in small towns where
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
everyone knows everyone so well.| | | |
d. Without the adolescent to work, the family may have increased
| | | | | | | | | | |
economic difficulties. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ANS: C
| | | | |
Because of the cluster or "copycat" phenomenon related to self-inflicted
| | | | | | | | |
death, in several towns the suicide rate has reached epidemic
| | | | | | | | | | |
proportions, with three or more suicide incidents occurring in a very
| | | | | | | | | | |
short time (after one suicide, there is an increased incidence of
| | | | | | | | | | |
additional suicides in a community). In small towns or rural areas, where
| | | | | | | | | | |
most people are fairly well acquainted, a sudden death can be
| | | | | | | | | | | |
devastating to students and to the community as a whole.
| | | | | | | | |
5. What was one purpose of Rural Health Clinic (RHC) Public Law 95-
| | | | | | | | | | | |
210?
a. To define rural areas as underserved and therefore eligible for many
| | | | | | | | | | | |
tax reductions
|
b. To encourage utilization of advanced practice nurses by providing
| | | | | | | | | |
reimbursement for their services under Medicare and Medicaid | | | | | | |
, c. To fund structures (building, equipment, supplies) for rural health
| | | | | | | | | |
care providers |
d. To pay for physicians to serve in rural underserved areas - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-ANS: B |
RHC Public Law 95-210 was originally passed by Congress in 1977. The
| | | | | | | | | | | |
law defined core primary care, created reimbursement mechanisms,
| | | | | | | |
and encouraged utilization of midwives and nurse practitioners, among
| | | | | | | | |
others, by providing reimbursement even without a full-time physician
| | | | | | | | |
available. Reimbursement is based on cost so that additional revenues
| | | | | | | | | |
to eligible rural practices can be generated.
| | | | | |
6. A program to recruit advanced-practice nurses to practice in a rural
| | | | | | | | | | | |
community is being developed. The program developers have applied to| | | | | | | | |
|receive federal training monies to help fund the costs of the program.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Which of the following questions must be addressed when they apply
| | | | | | | | | | |
for these funds?
| |
a. "Does the health of the clients improve as a result of interventions?"
| | | | | | | | | | | |
b. "Have professional schools increased enrollment?"
| | | | |
c. "Are advanced-practice nurses taught to embrace rural cultural
| | | | | | | | |
values?"
d. "Should improvements be made to the buildings and equipment at
| | | | | | | | | | |
the agency?" - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-ANS: A
| | | | |
Federal training dollars have been linked to program outcomes. The
| | | | | | | | | |
question of whether the clients' health improves as a result of
| | | | | | | | | | |
