✍️ Sample DHA NURSING Questions & Answers
1. Which measure is most effective in preventing the spread of communicable diseases in the community?
Vaccination creates population immunity (herd immunity) and public health education promotes hygiene and behaviour change, making these the most effective tools for preventing communicable disease spread.
2. How should a DHA nurse perform a pain assessment for a non-verbal patient?
For non-verbal patients, DHA nurses use validated behavioral pain assessment tools (FLACC, CPOT, BPS) that evaluate facial expressions, body movements, muscle tension, and physiological indicators.
3. Which of the following best describes the primary prevention strategy for type 2 diabetes in a UAE community programme?
Primary prevention of type 2 diabetes targets modifiable risk factors through lifestyle interventions—diet, exercise, and weight management—before the disease develops.
4. Which isolation precaution is required for a patient diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis?
Active pulmonary TB is transmitted via airborne droplet nuclei; airborne precautions with a negative pressure isolation room are mandatory to prevent spread.
5. What is the DHA protocol for managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?
DHA ARDS management includes lung-protective ventilation (low tidal volumes 6ml/kg), prone positioning for 16+ hours, conservative fluid management, continuous SpO2/ABG monitoring, and sedation management.
6. What is the DHA protocol for safe patient transport within the hospital?
DHA requires pre-transport stability assessment, portable monitoring equipment, emergency medications and airway equipment, trained clinical escort appropriate to acuity, and prior communication with the receiving department.
