CMAN 380 Exam 3 Questions With Correct
Answers
Name |the |first |nurse |epidemiologist |who |pioneered |the |use |of |statistics |to |improve |public |
health.
A. |Dorothea |Dix
B. |Florence |Nightingale
C. |Lillian |Wald
D. |Sue |Barton |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-B. |Florence |Nightingale
Florence |Nightingale |used |statistics |to |show |changes |in |outcomes |as |hospital |conditions |during
|the |war |improved |because |of |nurses.
The |nurse |noted |that |15 |people |became |very |ill |while |eating |at |the |school |banquet |for |the |
basketball |team. |To |calculate |the |rate |of |illness, |what |other |fact |does |the |nurse |need?
A. |How |many |athletes |were |honored |for |being |on |the |team
B. |How |many |parents |and |family |members |attended |the |banquet
C. |How |many |people |ate |at |the |banquet
D. |What |foods |were |served |at |the |banquet
E. |Who |prepared |and |served |the |food |at |the |banquet |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-C. |How |many |
people |ate |at |the |banquet
,To |be |able |to |calculate |the |rate, |the |nurse |needs |to |know |how |many |became |ill |(15) |out |of |
the |total |population |(the |missing |number) |at |the |event. |Therefore |the |nurse |needs |to |know |
how |many |people |ate |at |the |banquet.
A |rate |might |be |accurately |defined |as:
A. |Another |term |for |ratio.
B. |A |way |of |determining |the |incidence |of |disease |in |a |group.
C. |A |way |to |make |comparisons |among |equal-size |populations.
D. |The |number |of |events |divided |by |the |number |of |persons |at |risk. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-D.
|The |number |of |events |divided |by |the |number |of |persons |at |risk.
A |rate |is |a |numerator |of |the |actual |number |of |events |and |a |denominator |of |the |total |
population |at |risk |converted |to |a |standard |base |to |permit |comparisons |between |various |
population |groups |of |whatever |size.
The |nurse |was |asked |whether |the |agency |should |focus |on |young |single |moms |in |Two |Oaks |or |
Centerville. |Two |Oaks |had |50 |single |moms |in |a |village |of |4000 |persons, |whereas |Centerville |
had |150 |single |moms |in |an |urban |area |of |15,000 |people. |What |would |be |the |best |reply?
A. |As |the |nurse |can |be |helpful |to |either |neighborhood, |the |nurse |can |choose.
B. |The |nurse |needs |more |data.
C. |The |nurse |should |choose |to |focus |on |single |moms |in |Centerville
D. |The |nurse |should |choose |to |focus |on |single |moms |in |Two |Oaks. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-D. |
The |nurse |should |choose |to |focus |on |single |moms |in |Two |Oaks.
,It |is |apparent |that |Two |Oaks |has |a |higher |rate |of |single |moms |than |Centerville |does. |Nurses |
must |focus |on |high-risk |groups—and |the |single |moms |in |Two |Oaks |are |at |higher |risk.
What |was |one |of |the |first |public |health |measures |legislated |by |the |U.S. |federal |government?
A. |Fund |local |government |provision |of |safe |water.
B. |Use |the |power |to |impose |quarantine.
C. |Inspect |restaurants, |bars, |and |other |public |eating |facilities.
D. |Regulate |disposal |of |waste |(garbage |and |feces).
E. |Require |pasteurization |of |all |milk. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-B. |Use |the |power |to |impose |
quarantine.
Quarantine |was |the |first |measure |used |on |a |federal |level |to |restrict |spread |of |infectious |
diseases.
Jacob |Henle |developed |scientific |criteria |to |link |an |organism |to |its |specific |disease. |What |are |
his |criteria, |which |we |still |use |today?
A. |Give |samples |of |the |organism |to |three |different |researchers |and |see |if |all |three |researchers
|can |grow |it |successfully.
B. |Grow |the |organism |on |the |diseased |tissue |and |then |see |if, |when |spread |on |normal |tissue, |
the |organism |continues |to |grow.
C. |Identify |microorganisms |under |a |microscope |and |grow |them |on |the |tissue |that |the |disease |
usually |infects.
, D. |Identify |the |organism, |isolate |the |organism, |and |see |if |the |organism |produces |disease. |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-D. |Identify |the |organism, |isolate |the |organism, |and |see |if |the |organism |
produces |disease.
Henle's |three |criteria |to |link |an |organism |to |its |specific |disease |were |to |identify |the |organism, |
isolate |it, |and |use |the |organism |to |generate |disease.
n |what |way |are |antibiotics |important |in |reducing |the |spread |of |communicable |diseases?
A. |Help |keep |the |environment |free |of |the |infectious |agent.
B. |Help |the |host |resist |the |infection.
C. |Kill |the |entire |infectious |agent |upon |contact |with |it.
D. |Reduce |the |time |during |which |the |infected |person |is |contagious. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
D. |Reduce |the |time |during |which |the |infected |person |is |contagious.
Antibiotics |have |many |effects, |but |they |reduce |the |spread |of |communicable |diseases |by |
decreasing |the |time |during |which |an |infected |host |is |contagious.
What |is |true |concerning |infectious |diseases |at |the |current |time |in |the |United |States?
A. |They |account |for |25% |of |all |physician |visits |and |are |still |a |major |cause |of |death.
B. |They |are |not |a |community/public |health |problem |in |the |United |States.
C. |They |are |a |major |source |of |morbidity |in |the |world, |but |not |in |the |United |States.
