PART A: CONCISE STUDY GUIDE
Key Concepts:
● Levels of Prevention:
○ Primary: Prevent disease before it occurs (e.g., immunizations, health
education).
○ Secondary: Early detection and treatment (e.g., screening, BP checks).
○ Tertiary: Reduce disability and complications (e.g., stroke rehab, support
groups).
● Epidemiological Calculations:
○ Incidence = New cases / Population at risk × multiplier (usually 1,000 or
100,000).
○ Prevalence = Total (old + new) cases / Total population × multiplier.
○ Attack rate = Cases among exposed / Total exposed × 100 (used in
outbreaks).
● Community Assessment Models:
○ Windshield Survey: Systematic observation of neighborhood (housing,
traffic, recreation, stores).
○ Community-as-Partner Model: Uses "community core" and eight
subsystems (economics, education, recreation, etc.).
● Vulnerable Populations:
○ Homeless: High TB, skin infestations, foot problems; need shelters, mobile
clinics.
○ Migrant workers: Poor sanitation, pesticide exposure; provide culturally
sensitive care, Spanish materials.
○ Older adults: Poly-pharmacy, falls, isolation; senior centers,
Meals-on-Wheels.
● Disaster Nursing (Four Stages):
○ Mitigation: Reduce impact (building codes, public education).
○ Preparedness: Drills, stockpiles, community plans.
, ○ Response: Triage, shelter, immediate care.
○ Recovery: Mental health, rebuilding, evaluation.
● Environmental Health:
○ Lead: Screen at 12 & 24 months; remove source, chelation if >45 µg/dL.
○ Radon: Test basements; mitigation if >4 pCi/L.
○ Foodborne: Report to health dept within 24 h; stool cultures for
confirmation.
● Cultural Competence:
○ Use professional interpreters, not family.
○ Ask open-ended questions: "What do you believe caused your illness?"
○ Respect dietary restrictions and healing practices.
PART B: NGN-STYLE TEST BANK
Module 1: Foundations & Epidemiology
Q1 (Bowtie):
Scenario: A local daycare reports 12 cases of Salmonella gastroenteritis among 60
attendees. Public health nurses investigate.
Task: Select the ONE most significant antecedent and ONE most significant
consequence.
Left Column (Antecedents):
1. Inadequate hand-washing by staff
2. Low immunization rates
3. Recent power outage
4. Overcrowded classrooms
Right Column (Consequences):
A. Community loss of trust in daycare
B. Increased local demand for pediatric ED services
, C. Statewide formula shortage
D. Secondary household transmission
Correct Selections: Antecedent = 1; Consequence = D
Rationale: Poor hand hygiene is the primary route for fecal-oral pathogens
(epidemiological triad—host-agent-environment interaction). Household transmission
extends the outbreak into the wider community, requiring broader public-health
resources.
Q2 (Matrix):
Community health nurse is prioritizing interventions for a rural county with high rates of
obesity, smoking, and poverty. Drag each intervention to the appropriate priority column.
Rows (Interventions):
● Establish monthly mobile farmers’ market
● Provide free nicotine-replacement therapy at health dept
● Offer BMI screening at county fair
● Build walking trails at city park
Columns:
● Highest Priority (Primary Prevention)
● Intermediate Priority (Secondary Prevention)
● Lowest Priority (Tertiary Prevention)
Correct Matrix:
● Highest: Farmers’ market, Walking trails, Free NRT
● Intermediate: BMI screening
● Lowest: (none listed here)
