MULTIPLE CHOICE

 

  1. A public health nurse (PHN) is working with families and communities. Which of the following best illustrates the nursing action that is being implemented?
a. Learning about the core competencies for public health professionals
b. Facilitating a client discharge from an inpatient facility
c. Assessing the structure of a family
d. Assisting clients who are uninsured in finding resources and services

 

 

ANS:   D

The PHN role is best demonstrated by the action of assisting clients who are uninsured in finding resources and services. Learning about the core competencies is important, but does not demonstrate a nurse working with families and communities. The PHN is not typically involved with inpatient client discharge. The PHN may assess family structure, but that is not the best example of how a nurse works with families and communities.

  1. A nurse strives to meet the health care needs of diverse and changing families. Which of the following best describes the consideration that should be made by the nurse?
a. Provide culturally competent care
b. Understand family dynamics
c. Recognize that two-income parent households are less stressful
d. Learn how to care for people in their homes

 

 

ANS:   A

Immigration and modest difference in natural increases has increased in racial and ethnic diversity, which is reflected in the decline in the white, non-Hispanic population. Culturally competent care is necessary to best meet the health care needs of diverse and changing families. Provision of culturally competent care should be of higher priority than understanding family dynamics, recognizing the stress in two-income parent households, or learning how to care for people in their homes. Culturally competent care is needed to form and maintain a relationship with the family.

  1. A nurse is making an appointment with a family for a nursing visit. Which of the following best describes a barrier that the nurse may experience when trying to schedule this appointment?
a. The assessment cannot be done unless the extended family is present.
b. It may be difficult to find a convenient time for all family members to be present.
c. Nurses have limited time to do home visits.
d. Families are often scattered over a large area, making access difficult.

 

 

ANS:   B

It is important to encourage all family members to attend the meeting. However, it can be difficult to find a convenient time for all family members to attend. Often, late afternoon or evening appointments are necessary to accommodate the needs of the family. Limitation of time by the nurses would not be a barrier when scheduling this appointment.
