NR-503 EPIDEMIOLOGY FINAL 2025 UPDATED
ACTUAL EXAM WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS.
Cultural Awareness - correct answer- :Self-examination of one's
own prejudices and biases toward other cultures. An in-depth
exploration of one's own cultural/ethnic background.
Cultural competence in nursing consists of four principles. -
correct answer- Care is designed for the specific client.
Care is based on the uniqueness of the person's culture and
includes cultural norms and values.
Care includes self-employment strategies to facilitate client
decision making to improve health behaviors.
Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural
uniqueness of clients.
The APN may also use the Kleinman Explanatory Model of
Illness (1978). Below are the questions that can be utilized. -
correct answer- What do you call your problem?
What do you think caused your problem?
Why do you think it started when it did?
What does your sickness do to you?
What do you fear most about your sickness?
What are the chief problems your sickness has caused you?

What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
What is the most important result you hope to receive from the
treatment?
According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures
differ, they all have the same basic organizing factors that must
be assessed in order to provide care for culturally diverse
patients. These factors include - correct answer-
communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
environmental control; and
biological variations.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission,
including - correct answer- Web-based technical assistance, (2)
knowledge development and dissemination, (3) supporting a
community of learners, and (4) collaboration and partnerships
with diverse groups.
Epidemiological Triad: - correct answer- host, agent,
environment
,3 | Page
Genetics - correct answer- The study of individual genes and
their impact on relatively rare single gene disorders
Absolute risk - correct answer- is the probability of an event,
such as illness, injury, or death. Gives no indication of how its
magnitude compares with others
The odds ratio - correct answer- closely approximates the
relative risk if the disease is rare.
Odds ratio and the relative risk are used - correct answer- to
assess the strength of association between risk factor and
outcome.
How is Attributible risk used - correct answer- is used to make
risk-based decisions for individuals.
Population-attributable risk measures - correct answer- are
used to form public health decisions

EGAPP: - correct answer- Evaluation of Genomic Applications
in Practice and Prevention
GAPPNet - correct answer- Genomic Applications in Practice
and Prevention Network (established in 2009) is a collaborative
initiative involving partners from across the public health sector
working together to realize the promise of genomics in health
care and disease prevention.
GEDDI - correct answer- Genetics Early Disease Detection
Intervention project (GEDDI) (established in 2009) developed a
model strategy for using clinical, genetic, and family history
information to reduce the risk of disease, death, and disability in
affected individuals, family members, and populations.
HuGENet - correct answer- Human Genome Epidemiology
Network (HuGENet) (established in 1998) helps translate
genetic research findings into opportunities for preventive
medicines and public health by advancing the synthesis,
interpretation, and dissemination of population-based data on
human genetic variation in health and disease. HuGENet
reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the
epidemiologic aspects of human genes, including prevalence of
allelic variants in different populations, population-based
information on disease risk, evidence for gene-environment
interaction and quantitative data on genetic tests and services
carried out according to specific guidelines.
