Based on this information, which is the most accurate description of this situation? A) Health professional shortage area B) Medically underserved area C) Medically underserved population D) Undeserved population

Ans: A Feedback: A health professional shortage area (HPSA) is a geographic area, population group, or medical facility with shortages of healthcare professionals to a degree that a full complement of healthcare services is not possible. A medically underserved area (MUA) is an area with a lack of medical care services as determined by the number of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the population 65 years or older. A medically underserved population (MUP) is a U.S. federal designation for those populations that face economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to accessing primary medical care services. An underserved population is a subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems because of marginalization in sociocultural status, access to economic resources, age, or gender.

A) A homicide of a female that occurs in the context of intimate partner violence B) Violence that targets people or groups of people on the basis of their gender C) A pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors D) A suicide by a female that occurs in the context of intimate partner violence

Ans: A Feedback: Femicide is a homicide (not a suicide) of a female that occurs in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Gender-based violence is violence that targets people or groups of people on the basis of their gender. IPV is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors that is perpetrated against an individual by one who is, was, or wishes to be in an intimate relationship with that individual and that may include inflicted physical injury, psychological abuse, sexual assault, progressive social isolation, deprivation, intimidation, and threats.

21. The nurse cares for a woman who is in her 39th week of gestation and who recently revealed that she is being physically abused by her partner.

A) Depression in the mother B) Low-birth weight infant C) Down syndrome in the infant D) Gestational diabetes in the mother E) Cleft palate in the infant

Ans: A, B Feedback: Depression before, during, and after birth has been strongly correlated with IPV. Researchers have also found that pregnant women who are assaulted by an intimate partner are at increased risk of giving birth to infants of reduced weight. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder and is not associated with IPV. Gestational diabetes is an endocrine disorder and would not be caused by IPV. A cleft palate is a congenital birth defect not associated with IPV.

12. The nurse suspect a 16-year-old client is being physically abused by her boyfriend. Compared with adolescent girls with no abuse history, this client is at significantly increased risk for: (Select all that apply.) A) Smoking cigarettes B) Anorexia C) Becoming pregnant D) Assaulting her siblings E) Theft

Ans: A, B, C Feedback: Adolescent girls who reported experiencing sexual or physical assault were significantly more likely to report smoking, attempt suicide, use cocaine, become pregnant, and engage in unhealthy eating habits, compared with adolescents with no abuse history. There is no evidence of an association of assaulting one's siblings or theft with exposure to violence.

1. An underserved population is a subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems due to marginalization in which areas? (Select all that apply.) A) Age B) Gender C) Sociocultural status D) Political affiliation E) Religion

Ans: A, B, C Feedback: An underserved population is a subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems due to marginalization in sociocultural status, access to economic resources, age, or gender. Marginalization in religion and political affiliation are not typically associated with underserved populations.

15. Which instance would be considered child abuse and neglect according to the federal Child Abuse and Prevention and Treatment Act? A) A father leaving a child in the back seat of a car on a hot August day B) A mother not feeding a 5-year-old child all day C) A mother allowing her boyfriend to punch her daughter D) A caregiver smacking away a toddler's hand when she reaches for a hot stove E) A neighbor touching the private parts of a 12-year-old boy

A caregiver smacking away a toddler's hand would not result in serious physical or emotional harm. All of the other answers would.

19. Which risk factors are associated with committing gun-related homicide? (Select all that apply.) A) Low income B) Lack of education C) Female gender D) Being a victim of discrimination E) Lack of employment opportunities

Ans: A, B, D, E Feedback: Factors that associated with committing gun-related homicides are as follows: low income, being a victim of discrimination, lack of education, and lack of employment opportunities. Most often, males are the victims as well as the perpetrators of homicides.

8. Which statements by a caregiver would indicate the presence of risk factors for violence and should cause the nurse to have significant concern for the safety of children? (Select all that apply.) A) "My boyfriend says that one day he'll put a bullet through my head if I don't stop nagging him." B) "My 3-year-old daughter cries when my partner and I argue."

E) "My husband got upset with how much our daughter was texting and took her phone away from her for a month."

Ans: A, C, D Feedback: Risk factors that indicate significant concern for the safety of the children are as follows: (1) threats to kill the caretaker, children, and/or self or fears on the part of the caretaker for the children's safety; (2) a child was physically injured in an incident in which the caretaker was the target; (3) a child was coerced to participate in or witness the abuse of the caretaker; (4) a weapon was used or threats to use a weapon were made, and the caretaker believed that there was intention and ability to cause harm. A toddler crying because of an argument and a father taking away a daughter's phone for a month are not causes for significant concern regarding the safety of the children.

11. After examining a young woman, the nurse asks her questions about some bruises on her back. The client confides that her husband has started hitting her when they argue. The nurse makes recommendations about getting help; the client dismisses them and states, "It's just a few bruises. I think I can handle it." Which long-term consequences of exposure to violence, according to Healthy People 2020, should the nurse discuss with this client? (Select all that apply.) A) Premature death B) Breast cancer C) Disability D) Lost productivity E) Obesity

Ans: A, C, D Feedback: Healthy People 2020 emphasizes a need to prevent violence and the sequelae known to result from exposure to violence recognizing that violence leads to the following: premature death, disability, poor mental health, high medical costs, and lost productivity. Breast cancer and obesity are not known as long-term consequences of exposure to violence.

(2) Is the woman's partner unemployed? (3) What is the worst thing the partner has ever done to the victim? (4) Does the victim feel that the partner is capable of hurting her, of carrying out his threats? (5) Has the woman's partner ever been arrested? (6) Is the woman's partner (not the woman herself) using drugs or drinking excessively?

21. How can genomics help improve care of underserved populations? (Select all that apply.) A) Identify increased risk in certain populations for specific diseases. B) Boost the immune system of individuals in the community. C) Predict how a community might metabolize medications. D) Reduce the cost of medications. E) Predict a community's unique vulnerability to environmental changes that can control gene expression in some diseases.

Ans: A, C, E Feedback: Understanding the genetic predictors of disease through genomics is a determinant of how certain individuals, families, and communities may be disproportionately affected by illness, and why public health must be part of a strategy that addresses discoveries in a practical way in this developing science. We also know that different groups of people by gender or other key demographic characteristics respond to preventive treatment differently because of their genetic make-up. For example, some genotypes may metabolize medications differently. Some populations may have specific vulnerability and key environmental influences related to their health. Gomes and Pelosi (2013) discuss how the potential vulnerability to environmental changes can control gene expression in diseases of great interest in public health such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and perhaps even the aging process.

3. Definitions of rural areas are based on which concepts? (Select all that apply.) A) Administrative B) Religious C) Land-use D) Political E) Economic

A) A geographic area, population group, or medical facility with shortages of healthcare professionals to the degree that a full complement of healthcare services is not possible B) An area with a lack of medical care services as determined by the number of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the population 65 years or older C) A U.S. federal designation for those populations that face economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to accessing primary medical care services D) A subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems because of marginalization

Ans: B Feedback: A medically underserved area (MUA) is an area with a lack of medical care services as determined by the number of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the population aged 65 or older. A health professional shortage area (HPSA) is a geographic area, population group, or medical facility with shortages of healthcare professionals to a degree that a full complement of healthcare services is not possible. A medically underserved population (MUP) is a U.S. federal designation for those populations that face economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to accessing primary medical care services. An underserved population is a subgroup of the population that has a higher risk of developing health problems because of marginalization in sociocultural status, access to economic resources, age, or gender.

9. While visiting the home of an 89-year-old woman out in the country, the nurse learns that her primary care provider's office is one hour's drive away.

C) Rural residents are nearly three times as likely to die from unintentional injuries other than motor vehicle accidents than are urban residents. D) Abuse of alcohol and use of smokeless tobacco is a significant problem among rural older adults.

Ans: B Feedback: Although only one third of all motor vehicle accidents occur in rural areas, two thirds of the deaths attributed to these accidents occur on rural roads. Only about 10% (not 5%) of physicians practice in rural America despite that nearly one fourth of the population lives in these areas. Rural residents are nearly twice (not three times) as likely to die from unintentional injuries other than motor vehicle accidents than are urban residents. Abuse of alcohol and use of smokeless tobacco are a significant problem among rural youth (not older adults).

11. The Children's Defense Fund supports initiatives at the individual, family, community, organizational, and government levels. Encouraging families to spend quality time together by hosting a movie or game night at a local church is an example of a strategy at which level? A) Family B) Community C) Organizational D) Government

Gender-based violence is based on the gender of the victim, not that of the perpetrator.

18. What percentage of rural children live in poverty? A) 14% B) 24% C) 34% D) 44%

Ans: B Feedback: Nearly 24% of rural children live in poverty.

20. The nurse assesses a new client and performs a standard screening for intimate partner violence. Which is the most appropriate question to ask first? A) "Are you in danger now?" B) "It's normal for couples to disagree about things. What happens when you and your partner disagree?" C) "Do you ever think about hurting yourself, cutting, stopping eating, or purging food?" D) "Have you ever thought about or been granted a restraining order?"

Ans: B Feedback: The most appropriate question to ask first is, "It's normal for couples to disagree about things. What happens when you and your partner disagree?" This question is open-ended and allows the client to share information about behavior that she may not even recognize as abuse. The other questions listed are more appropriate to ask as follow-up questions, once the woman has stated that she is being abused.

The other answers are not true.

17. Intimate partner violence is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors. This definition includes: (Select all that apply.) A) Emotional injury B) Sexual assault C) Progressive social interaction D) Physical injury E) Deprivation

Ans: B, D, E Feedback: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors that is perpetrated against an individual by one who is, was, or wishes to be in an intimate relationship with that individual and that may include inflicted physical injury, psychological abuse, sexual assault, progressive social isolation (not interaction), deprivation, intimidation, and threats. Emotional injury is not included in IPV.

9. A nurse is preparing to make a mandatory report of intimate partner violence (IPV) with regard to the caregiver of a pediatric client. Which actions are appropriate? (Select all that apply.) A) Tell the child about the possibility of filing a mandatory report B) Determine whether it will be safe to inform the child about the report C) Ask about the child's incidence of using drugs D) Ask the victim whether she has a plan to keep herself and the child safe E) Ask the victim if she would like to file a report at the same time as you file yours

Ans: C Feedback: Organizations, not families, communities, or government, are likely host a health fair to ensure all children who are eligible for Medicaid or your state children's health insurance program are enrolled.

4. Preventing intimate partner violence (IPV) and recurrence of violence requires targeting efforts at all three levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Which is a secondary prevention strategy? A) Creating and broadcasting a public service announcement that raises awareness about IPV B) Putting up posters around the health provider's office that give tips on what to do if one is in an abusive relationship C) Screening a woman for evidence of abuse who has several risk factors for IPV D) Providing a woman who is being abused by her husband the number to an abuse hotline so that she can get help leaving him

Ans: C Feedback: Primary prevention includes screening and prevention efforts that target the general population. Secondary prevention occurs through generalized screening and inquiry with high-risk populations. Tertiary prevention involves caring for victims affected by or currently experiencing violence. Creating and broadcasting a public service announcement and putting up posters are examples of primary prevention, as they are aimed at the general public. Screening a woman for evidence of abuse who has several risk factors for IPV is an example of secondary prevention. Providing help to a woman who is being abused is an example of tertiary prevention.

10. Who is in the best position to recognize both children being victimized and children perpetrating violence? A) Pediatric primary care provider B) Parent C) School nurse D) Next door neighboR

Ans: C Feedback: School nurses play a pivotal role in recognizing both children who are being victimized and those who are perpetrating violence, as they are in daily contact with the children. The parents of the children might know whether their own child is a victim or a perpetrator, but they likely would know the other children involved. The child's primary care provider and next door neighbor are not as likely to know of violence experienced or perpetrated by children as the school nurse is, due to the nurse's more frequent contact with the children and location in the school setting.
