NURS 6645 WEEK 6 MIDTERM EXAM ACTUAL
EXAMINATION TEST 2026 QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Which of the following terms is used to describe aggregates who
are at high risk for having poor health outcomes because of limited
resources?
a. Disadvantaged families
b. Multi-problem families
c. Resilient populations
d. Vulnerable populations. Answer: d. Vulnerable populations
Vulnerable populations are groups (aggregates) with an increased
risk to develop adverse health outcomes. Families are a subgroup of
populations and do not appropriately fit the definition of
"aggregates." Resilience refers to the ability to resist poor health
outcomes, not to succumb to them.
◉ A community health nurse would like to implement an
intervention to increase lasting resilience among new immigrants.
Which of the following actions should be taken by the nurse?
,a. Direct clients to English-as-second-language courses.
b. Give immigrant clients money to help them get settled.
c. Identify areas in the city where housing is less expensive.
d. Solicit donations for food, clothing, and other needs.. Answer: a.
Direct clients to English-as-second-language courses.
Vulnerability can be reversed by obtaining resources to increase
resilience. Learning the basic language of the country of residence
will give immigrants the ability to communicate and navigate
through systems and thus remove barriers that promote
disenfranchisement and disadvantaged status.
◉ Which of the following factors predisposes many migrant farm
workers to disenfranchisement?
a. Being a minority group member
b. Inability to attend religious services because of work
requirements
c. Previous experiences of physical abuse
d. Short length of time in the community. Answer: d. Short length of
time in the community
Disenfranchisement refers to a feeling of separation from
mainstream society. The person does not seem to have an emotional
,connection with any group in particular or the larger society. For
migrant workers who are frequently moving, the short length of
time they stay in the community does not allow for the development
of social ties. Being a minority group member would not by itself
cause disenfranchisement if the minority group member lived in a
community with persons from similar ethnic and cultural
backgrounds. A person's inability to attend religious services or to
have had experienced previous physical abuse are not specifically
related to disenfranchisement of the population of migrant
farmworkers.
◉ A large financial grant was being offered to whichever health
facility wanted to accept the responsibility for giving care to local
vulnerable populations. Which of the following actions would most
likely be taken by the local medical centers?
a. Agree to collaboratively apply for the funds in a cooperative
proposal.
b. Individually compete eagerly for the additional funds now
available.
c. Reach out enthusiastically to this previously underserved
population group.
d. Strongly consider not applying, because this population will be
expensive to treat.. Answer: d. Strongly consider not applying,
because this population will be expensive to treat.
, Many agencies do not wish to provide services to vulnerable
populations. Vulnerable populations are more expensive to treat
because they have multiple, cumulative risks and require special
service delivery considerations (e.g., to help overcome
transportation problems or provide culturally competent care).
Because of the major costs associated with providing care to this
population and risks related to reimbursement, it would not be in
the best interest of the agency to want to eagerly apply to provide
care to this group.
◉ Which individual has the greatest risk for becoming a member of
the vulnerable population of the local community?
a. A male diagnosed with a cardiac issue who recently moved in with
his adult child
b. A single mother who is studying for a law degree at the local
university
c. A 50-year-old married female who has worked as a server in local
restaurants for her entire adult life
d. A single male who has a history that includes a learning disability
and a parent diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Answer: d. A single
male who has a history that includes a learning disability and a
parent diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
The WHO, consistent with Healthy People 2030, describes three
overall determinants of health to be (1) the social and economic
