A public health nurse is designing a health program for a community with a high rate of hypertension. Which Healthy People framework concept is being used when the nurse focuses on achieving health equity?
Answer: Addressing social determinants and eliminating health disparities
Healthy People frameworks (and WHO Health for All) emphasize health equity — the attainment of the highest possible level of health for all people. Eliminating disparities driven by social determinants (income, race, education) is a core organizing principle.
A nurse is conducting a family assessment using the Calgary Family Assessment Model. Which of the following domains does this model assess?
Answer: Structural, developmental, and functional family dimensions
The Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) assesses three domains: structural (who is in the family, relationships), developmental (family life cycle stage), and functional (how the family behaves and interacts). It provides a comprehensive systems-based family assessment.
The nurse is teaching a mother about the importance of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for her child with diarrhea. What is the primary advantage of ORT over IV rehydration?
Answer: It can be administered at home, is safe, and reduces the need for hospitalization
ORT (WHO/UNICEF recommended ORS formula) is the cornerstone of diarrhea management in the community because it is inexpensive, safe, effective, can be given at home by caregivers, and has dramatically reduced childhood mortality from diarrheal diseases globally.
The nurse is reviewing reportable diseases in Saudi Arabia. Tuberculosis, cholera, and measles are examples of which category?
Answer: Notifiable communicable diseases requiring mandatory reporting to MOH
Saudi Arabia's MOH requires mandatory reporting of notifiable communicable diseases including TB, cholera, measles, meningitis, and others. Reporting enables surveillance, outbreak detection, and control measures. Non-compliance is a regulatory violation.
A nurse is evaluating program efficiency for a smoking cessation program. What does efficiency measure?
Answer: The ratio of health outcomes achieved to resources (cost) invested
Program efficiency measures the relationship between outputs/outcomes and inputs (cost, time, resources). Cost-effectiveness analysis compares the cost per unit of health outcome achieved. Efficacy measures whether a program works under ideal conditions; effectiveness measures real-world impact.
The nurse is teaching a community group about common water-borne diseases in Saudi Arabia. Which pathogen is most commonly associated with contaminated water supplies?
Answer: Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC)
Vibrio cholerae (cholera) and ETEC are the most significant water-borne diarrheal pathogens globally and in regions with water supply challenges. They spread through contaminated drinking water and food washed with contaminated water. TB is airborne; influenza is droplet; Staph is contact/food.
