Chapter 1, Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice 1. The 20th century saw numerous improvements in the health status of people in the developed world. This was primarily attributable to what phenomenon?

A. Steady declines in the rate of tobacco consumption B. The development of vaccines against many communicable diseases C. Eradication of microorganisms responsible for infectious diseases D. Government policies that prioritized health promotion over disease treatment ANS: B Rationale: Health status gains in the developed world during the 20th century were a result of (1) advances in knowledge about the causes of disease, (2) development of new technologies and pharmaceuticals to treat and cure many diseases, (3) creation of vaccines and environmental solutions to prevent disease transmission and acquisition, and (4) innovations in surveillance techniques to measure health status.

What document is recognized as laying the foundation for the transition in the focus of Canadian health policy from disease to health?

A. The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion B. The Epp Framework (A Framework for Health Promotion) C. The WHO Declaration of Alma-Ata D. The Lalonde Report (A New Perspectives on the Health of Canadians) ANS: D Rationale: The publication in 1974 of the Lalonde Report (A New Perspective on the Health of Canadians) heralded a change in the focus of health on disease to a focus on health. The Ottawa Charter, the WHO Declaration, and the Epp Framework were each subsequent to the Lalonde Report.

3. The Lalonde Report of 1974 is recognized as one of the seminal publications that has shaped the character and direction of public health policy in Canada.

What change in policy is attributed to the Lalonde Report?

A. A shift from collective responsibility for the health of Canadians to an individual focus B. A change in focus from the treatment of illness to the promotion of health C. A change from private funding for health to a combination of provincial and federal funding D. A recognition of the importance of determinants of health ANS: B Rationale: The Lalonde Report is credited with initiating a change in the policy from a focus on disease to a focus on health. The report did not promote a change in funding, a change to individual responsibility, or a formal recognition of the determinants of health.

PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: Page and Header: 5, The Lalonde Report OBJ: 1 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 4. The publication of the World Health Organization’s Declaration of Alma-Ata is acknowledged to be a key event in the development of contemporary public health policy. The Declaration prioritized: A. collaboration among individuals and health care providers to impact health decisions.

B. increased funding for the education of nurses, physicians, and allied health workers in member nations.

C. cooperation between developed nations and developing nations to eradicate global health inequities.

D. the removal of class-based barriers to health decision making.

ANS: A Rationale: The Declaration of Alma-Ata called for health providers to work with people to assist them in making decisions about their health and how to meet health challenges in ways that are affordable, acceptable, and sustainable in the long term. It did not specifically prioritize education funding, international cooperation, or the removal of class-based barriers to health.

BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 5. A public health worker is participating in the creation of a health promotion initiative that aims to address many of the poor health outcomes in a city’s homeless population. The success or failure of this initiative is likely to depend on what factor?

A. Accessibility and the perceived credibility of the planned initiative B. The provision of incentives and immediate benefits for participants in the program C. Providing safe and supportive housing for homeless people before addressing their health needs D. Redressing the disparities based on gender, socioeconomic status, and education ANS: A Rationale: The Declaration of Alma-Ata called for health providers to work with people to assist them in making decisions about their health and how to meet health challenges in ways that are affordable, acceptable, and sustainable in the long term. In facing the health challenges posed by homelessness, it is imperative that programs, policies, and interventions ensure accessibility by the members of this population. As well, it is necessary to present initiatives in a way that promotes their credibility. Short-term benefits are not a prerequisite and the resolution of disparities and lack of housing need not precede health promotion.

Which issue is recognized as being inadequately addressed by current Canadian health policy?

A. Canadians are not aware of the impact that their behaviours have on their health status.

B. Utilization of the health care system is insufficient to ensure the health of the population.

C. Members of disadvantaged groups are less healthy than other Canadians.

D. The interests of the health care industry are at odds with the long-term health of Canadians.

ANS: C

Rationale: Among the major issues that are not being adequately addressed by current health policies and practices is the fact that disadvantaged groups have significantly lower life expectancy, poorer health, and a higher prevalence of disability than the average Canadian. A knowledge deficit, underutilization, and the interests of the health care industry are not noted as core problems in Canadian public health.

Which client typifies the health problems that began to predominate in Canada during the late 20th century?

A. A young man who incurred a spinal cord injury while playing sports B. An elementary school student who developed measles because she was not vaccinated C. An older adult client who had type 2 diabetes that resulted in vascular and cardiac complications D. A child who was born HIV-positive to a mother who was an intravenous substance user ANS: C Rationale: During the late 20th century, the effects of chronic conditions such as diabetes began to overshadow other health problems such as communicable diseases and injuries.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page and Header: 7, A Framework for Health Promotion in Canada OBJ: 2 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze 8. Which statement best captures the concept of population health?

A. Population health is the median life expectancy within a defined group of people.

B. Population health is citizens’ subjective perceptions of their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

C. Population health is the health status of a group of individuals that is considered as a whole, coherent unit.

D. Population health is the relative risk of premature death that exists within a specified group of residents.

ANS: C Rationale: Population health focuses on the health status of populations, which are conceptualized as coherent entities that are not simply the sum of individuals. Components and considerations include measures such as life expectancy and health risks, but the concept supersedes these finite indicators.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page and Header: 12, Population Health OBJ: 6 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 9. A tobacco educator is working with a group of adults who have a history of cigarette smoking. The group comprises immigrants to Canada from an ethnic group whose members have a smoking rate higher than that of the Canadian population as a whole. Which determinant of health does not have a significant impact on the group members’ tobacco use?

A. Culture B. Social environment C. Personal health practices D. Physical environment ANS: D Rationale: The influence of client’s culture, social environment (peers), and personal health practices can be seen as factors that affect his tobacco use. The client’s physical environment does not have a clear and direct bearing on this health behaviour.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page and Header: 12, Population Health OBJ: 5 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Apply 10. A community health worker is collaborating with educators and school administrators to spearhead a new program for elementary students that aims to prevent children from beginning to smoke in junior high. This effort most clearly exemplifies what element of the population health approach?

A. Focusing on the health of populations B. Addressing the determinants of health C. Increasing accountability for health outcomes D. Investing upstream ANS: D

Rationale: Investing upstream means directing attention at the root causes of illness and injury, rather than at the symptoms that are evident. Influencing tobacco use before it begins is an example of such upstream thinking. This does not preclude a focus on the health of populations, consideration of the determinants of health, or increased accountability, but the structure and timeline of the program is a clear example of investing upstream.

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page and Header: 13, Population Health OBJ: 6 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze 11. Which action best demonstrates the element of collaboration in the population health approach?

A. A community health worker liaises with municipal leaders and social services representatives during the planning of a program.

B. A community health worker adopts a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of care in a community.

C. A community health worker forms a committee of fellow community health workers when weighing the costs and benefits of a proposed program.

D. A community health worker consults published evidence when planning an intervention and integrates the evidence into practice.

ANS: A Rationale: Collaboration is the active engagement between and across levels and sectors. It is not synonymous with multidisciplinary care or evidence-based practice.

PTS: 1 DIF: Difficult REF: Page and Header: 14, Population Health OBJ: 6 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Analyze 12. Knowing that health is a result of a complex interplay among numerous factors, the community health worker is careful to make a distinction between risk factors and risk conditions. What factor would be considered a risk condition?

A. A community hospital has been closed due to budgetary pressures and consolidation with a larger, more distant hospital.

B. The community’s alcohol purchases have increased to very high levels since the loss of a key employer in the community several months ago.

C. A group of local middle-aged factory workers have avoided going to their primary care providers for the past 4 years for the fear of digital rectal examinations.

D. A group of women attending a community centre art class has been encouraged to increase their activity level but most women continue to maintain a sedentary lifestyle.

ANS: A Rationale: Risk conditions, on the other hand, are general circumstances over which people have little or no control that are known to affect health status.

Examples include the specific delivery of health care and changes that have the potential to negatively impact health. Risk factors are elements, often behaviour patterns, that tend to dispose people to poorer health and are modifiable through strategies that create individual behaviour change.

Which population group is considered to be the most vulnerable in Canadian society?

A. The Aboriginal population B. People who are homeless C. Female lone parenting families D. Children with chronic diseases ANS: B Rationale: People who are homeless are one of the most vulnerable population groups in society, exposed to multiple hazards in a nonsupportive environment, diminishing their ability to stay healthy or to take the necessary steps to seek the services they need to become healthy. The threats to health of the homeless population exceed those faced by nearly every other group in Canadian society.

The Epp Framework (A Framework for Health Promotion) of 1986 is acknowledged as a milestone in the development of public health policy in Canada. What was the primary goal in this framework?

A. Encouraging Canadians to become more aware of international health disparities

B. Empowering Canadians to exercise control over and improve their own health C. Fostering a sense of pride in the health care system that Canadians created D. Promoting a reduction in known health risk factors ANS: B Rationale: The Epp Framework reaffirmed the WHO definition of health promotion as “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health.” The focus of the framework was not on international health disparities or promoting a sense of pride in the health care system. The framework went beyond narrow approaches such as reducing risk factors.

PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: Page and Header: 6, A Framework for Health Promotion in Canada OBJ: 1 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 15. One of the key mechanisms of health promotion is self-care. What is an example of this mechanism in action?

A. A group of construction workers choose to pack healthy lunches to work rather than buying fast food each day.

B. A community centre resolves to increase the activity level of the children by purchasing outdoor toys.

C. A school participates in a regional tobacco prevention campaign.

D. The leadership of a church organizes a drop-in exercise program for parishioners.

ANS: A Rationale: Self-care refers to the decisions made and the behaviours practised by individuals specifically for the preservation of health. Decisions made in order to benefit others can improve public health but they are not considered to be self-care.

Which is an example of a limitation of the 1974 Lalonde Report (A New Perspectives on the Health of Canadians)?

A. Blaming victims if they got sick or injured B. Not addressing the social conditions that affect health C. An overemphasis on lifestyle

D. Focus of attention on sectors other than health ANS: A Rationale: Lalonde’s approach was directed primarily toward individuals taking control of their health, and if people got sick or injured it was assumed they had not carried out recommended health behaviours (or did not do them enough).

PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate REF: Page and Header: 5, The Lalonde Report OBJ: 1 NAT: Client Needs: Health Promotion and Maintenance TOP: Chapter 1: Population Health Promotion: Essentials and Essence of Practice KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 17. One of the modes of collaboration is horizontal. What activity best demonstrates collaboration in action?

A. A public health clinical specialist partnering with the Board of Education and Health Canada to develop recommendations for gender-safe schools B. A school nurse, environmental health officer, and a teacher engaged together in a head lice program in a local elementary school C. A sexual health nurse, the head of the Boys and Girls Club, and the Chief of Police working on a bullying prevention program for transgendered high school students D. A Medical Officer of a health region partnering with a provincial Pharmacy Association and Public Health Agency to develop guidelines for influenza immunization ANS: B Rationale: Horizontal collaboration is when partnerships are formed at the same level. The other examples have different jurisdictions in policy and enforcement and are therefore examples of vertical collaboration.

The Declaration of Alma-Ata placed the greatest emphasis on: A. prevention.

B. expertise-driven programs.

C. low-technology options.

D. social justice.

ANS: D

Rationale: The Declaration focused on social justice and equity that was framed in the context of public participation and appropriate use of technology.

The Epp Framework (A Framework for Health Promotion in Canada) of 1986 defines health promotion. Which best captures that definition?

A. A person who does not have a disease, illness, or injury B. The opportunity for people to exercise control over their health C. Education programs that inform people about how to be healthy D. Individual Canadians taking responsibility for their health ANS: B Rationale: Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health.

Chapter 2, Public Health in Canada 1. What is the best description of public health?

A. The organized efforts of society to promote health and prevent disease B. The development and delivery of vaccines to prevent communicable diseases C. The work of the government to ensure the health of youth and families D. Government policies that prioritize health promotion and injury prevention ANS: A Rationale: Public health is “the science and art of promoting health, preventing disease, prolonging life and improving quality of life through the organized efforts of society” (Last, 2001, p. 145). Public health transcends the use of vaccines, government efforts, and policies.

What is the best description of the mission of Canada’s public health system?

A. To organize societal efforts to promote health and prevent disease B. To create the societal conditions for all Canadians to be healthy C. To ensure the health of individuals such as youth D. To carry out actions that address the determinants of health ANS: B Rationale: The mission of the public health system is to help society to create the conditions in which all people can be healthy. The system does not directly create health. Addressing the determinants of health and organizing societal efforts are actions that take place within the public health system, but they are not the overall mission of the system.

What is the best description of the goal of Canada’s public health system?

A. To organize efforts to promote Canadians’ health and prevent disease B. To create the societal conditions for all Canadians to be healthy C. To minimize health disparity and preventable death and disability for all Canadians

D. To carry out actions that address the Canadian determinants of health ANS: C Rationale: The goal of public health—to minimize health disparity and preventable death and disability for all Canadians—is integral to social justice.

Actions such as health promotion and addressing the determinants of health take place within the system, but they are not the ultimate goal of the system.

PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: Page and Header: 18, Introduction OBJ: 2 NAT: Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care TOP: Chapter 2: Public Health in Canada KEY: Integrated Process: Nursing Process BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 4. How does the Canadian public health system ensure social justice in its various activities?

A. By making certain its programs are based on epidemiologic evidence B. By ensuring there is clean drinking water and safe workplaces for all Canadians C. By making sure those Canadians in the greatest need receive the most services D. By being certain that its programs address the Canadian determinants of health ANS: C Rationale: Public health is committed to social justice: the concept of a society that gives individuals and groups fair treatment and an equitable (fair) share of the benefits of society. Using a social justice perspective for public health interventions means ensuring that those in greatest need of public health services, or those most vulnerable or at risk, receive more attention.

Canada’s public health history was affected by the fur trade that began in the 1600s. How did the introduction of European fur traders affect the health of the Indigenous peoples living in Canada during that time?

A. The fur trade brought economic growth and wealth to the Indigenous population.

B. European fur traders brought infectious diseases to Canada’s Indigenous people.

C. European fur traders married Indigenous women and improved their living conditions.

D. The Indigenous population began living on reserves and were protected by the government.

ANS: B Rationale: The North American continent was home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Beginning in the 1600s, their health, economy, and social conditions were negatively affected by European immigration. The fur trade brought with it smallpox, measles, tuberculosis, and influenza that destroyed many Indigenous lives and in some cases wiped out entire villages. The Indian Act was not created until 1876.

Canada’s public health history was affected by cholera that arrived on ships to what was then Upper and Lower Canada in the 1830s. What was the response to the epidemic this caused?

A. Over 6,000 people died from cholera in Montreal and Quebec City.

B. Local boards of health were established and medical officers appointed.

C. Immigrants were required to live in less crowded homes and keep the streets clean.

D. Sick immigrants were quarantined on islands outside of Canadian port cities.

ANS: B Rationale: Even though a quarantine station was established near Quebec City, immigrants that appeared healthy but were in fact infected with cholera had entered Lower Canada in the 1830s. The disease spread, and by the time the epidemic was over, cholera had killed about 2,300 people (10% of the population) in Quebec City and 4,000 (15% of the population) in Montreal. As cholera spread to Upper Canada, local boards of health were established and medical officers appointed to handle the epidemic; streets were cleaned of filth, pools of stagnant water were drained, and blocked sewers were cleared, particularly where poor immigrants lived in crowded housing conditions.

By the early 1860s, vaccination against smallpox became available and mandatory vaccination was introduced. How was this vaccine delivered to the Indigenous people for whom smallpox had been devastating in terms of lives lost and entire villages wiped out?

A. The priests and nuns went from village to village to vaccinate children.

B. The gold rush in coastal British Columbia required all miners be vaccinated.

C. The Hudson’s Bay Company provided vaccinations to Indigenous people.

D. Vaccinations were provided to children and families at residential schools.

ANS: C Rationale: By the early 1860s, vaccination against smallpox became available, and mandatory vaccination was introduced in the colonies. In the West, the Hudson’s Bay Company provided vaccinations in an effort to protect Indigenous communities. The Gold Rush in British Columbia, however, imported smallpox that devastated the coastal people.

By the mid-1950s, the public health system was well developed in Canada.

Nevertheless, there are still concerns about the health of Canadians. What are the biggest challenges that the public health system is facing today?

A. Viral infections related to injectable substance abuse B. Chronic diseases and mental health issues C. Immigration and refugee health conditions D. Families who do not vaccinate their children ANS: B Rationale: New infections emerged in the form of HIV/AIDS, and the incidence of other viral infections (e.g., hepatitis C) grew along with the increasing injectable substance use in the country. Today, much as in the early days of Canada, we remain concerned about immigrant health, Aboriginal health, and the health of people living in poverty. While much of our history is linked to infectious diseases (Brunham, 2009), current and future challenges relate to chronic disease, mental health, and the determinants of health.

The last century brought many achievements in public health in Canada in addition to vaccination and control of infectious diseases. Of these achievements, which ones best protected the health of Canadians?

A. Family planning and safer workplaces B. Motor-vehicle policies and tobacco reduction

C. Healthy eating and physical activity D. Universal health insurance ANS: B Rationale: Policies about drinking and driving, seat belts and child restraints, vehicle emission standards, and speed control policies have decreased motorvehicle--related deaths. Once tobacco was recognized as a health hazard, public health initiatives to reduce smoking, prevent second-hand smoke in public places, and prevent youth from starting to smoke have significantly reduced tobacco-related morbidity and mortality in Canada.

The programs, services, and institutions within Canada’s public health system are focused on prevention and promotion, and consideration of the health status and needs of the whole population. What essential functions of public health are needed to achieve these?

A. Epidemiology and clinical assessment and risk assessments B. Coordination and collaboration with other sectors C. Health assessment, surveillance, disease prevention, and health promotion D. Advocacy and social marketing ANS: C Rationale: The essential functions of the public health system are population and community health assessment, surveillance, injury and disease prevention, health promotion, health protection, and emergency and disaster preparedness.

While Canadians today are healthier than ever and have a longer life expectancy than previously, the risks to health have changed over the past decades. What is today’s special public health concern?

A. New and reemerging infectious diseases B. The battle against youth obesity and diabetes C. Falls and other injuries in the elderly and children D. Health disparity and inequity ANS: D Rationale: Today the leading causes of disability and death for all ages are injuries and chronic diseases. Today the health system battles obesity, tobacco, diabetes, mental illness, falls in the elderly, and childhood injuries. The challenge of infectious diseases remains, however, as old foes reemerge (e.g., syphilis, tuberculosis, community waterborne disease, influenza) and new ones appear (e.g., West Nile virus, Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome [MERS], bioterrorism). Of special concern are the inequalities in life circumstances that lead certain population groups to have poorer health status than those with more advantages—this is termed health disparity.

Following Canada’s Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2002, there were a number of recommendations made to improve public health capacity. Which recommendation was acted upon by the federal government?

A. Create more opportunities for public health education in professional curricula.

B. Create a public health agency with a chief public health officer for Canada.

C. Increase funding of public health initiatives to 11.6% of Canada’s gross domestic product.

D. Integrate all components of the Canadian health care system---public health, acute care, and long-term care.

ANS: B Rationale: In 2004, Canada created the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) separate from Health Canada and named the nation’s first Chief Public Health Officer. Masters of Public Health Schools and programs emerged after 2006.

The health care system as a whole accounts for 11.6% of GDP. Health care organization is in provincial/territorial jurisdiction so only they can integrate their systems, not the federal government.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has recognized seven common health professionals in public health by developing discipline-specific competencies for each of them. These seven disciplines include: A. Nursing, Inspection, and Health Promotion.

B. Social Work, Lactation Specialist, and Library Technician.

C. Medicine, Engineering, and Waste Management.

D. Nursing, Social Work, and Health Education Specialist.

ANS: A Rationale: There are many other valued professionals in public health departments, including those with expertise in information management and technology, social marketing, speech--language pathology, lactation, health education, among others. In addition, many public health agencies hire others (e.g., data analysts, social workers, toxicologists, program evaluators, librarians, research coordinators) who have specific public health expertise in addition to their discipline knowledge.

The importance of a strong primary care system to support public health practice is well recognized. The primary care system is characterized as the key to manage public health service demand. What is the primary care system’s contribution to the health of Canadians?

A. Direct and continuing care for clients B. Responding to unmet public health service needs C. Integration with home care, long-term care, and acute care facilities D. Twenty-four hour, seven days a week access to care for clients

ANS: A Rationale: Two key general characteristics of the public health contributions are provision of the systems or programmatic elements and response to unmet service needs, while for primary care it is the direct and continuing contact with clients.

Thoughtful collaboration between the public health system and primary care has potential benefit across which area?

A. Maternal--child health and communicable disease prevention B. Improvements in public health system efficiency and effectiveness C. Reduction of injectable substance abuse and prevention of blood-borne diseases D.

Which best describes Kantianism?

A. Decisions are made on the basis of the greatest good for the greatest number.

B. Actions are morally right when they are in accord with our nature and end as human beings.

C. A system that allows social and economic positions to be for everyone’s advantage and open to all.

D. A rule-based approach in which decisions are made by applying a set of rules of good conduct.

ANS: D Rationale: Kantianism is an ethical perspective based on respect for persons and action based on moral duty or good will. Morality is ensured by following the rules and acting from good intentions. Kant’s work explored the relationship between morality and human reason, arguing that individuals can understand what is morally right through study. Therefore, Kantian theory is not concerned with human nature. Decisions made based on what will be of most benefit to the most people is characteristic of utilitarianism, which involves predicting the possible impact of one’s actions. Conversely, Kantian principles are based on universal laws, which must be applied regardless of the consequences. Social justice is the concept which strives to make social and economic opportunities open to all, and is ideologically neutral, not exclusive to any one theory or value system.

A. All health professionals need to follow personal moral codes in their personal and professional life.

B. Health professionals should subscribe to professional codes of ethics in their daily practice.

C. All individuals in a research study have a complete understanding and informed consent of the study.

D. Preventing communicable disease benefits many more people in the community than does caring for individual illnesses.

ANS: D Rationale: The theory of utilitarianism maintains that one should strive to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people when making ethical decisions. A proponent of this theory might indeed argue that communicable disease prevention would be of greater benefit to more members of the community than caring for individual illnesses. Informed consent, as is given by the participants of the research study, is based on the principle of autonomy. Health professionals should consider a variety of ethical theories and practices when making decisions, and engage in critical thinking when examining personal moral codes or values. This is known as applied ethics.

Many organizations have professional codes of ethics that outline expectations for members, which may or may not incorporate principles of utilitarianism.

A. The decreasing emphasis placed on traditional concepts of moral character B. Social diversity and the presence of numerous ethnic and cultural groups in Canada C. Increasing numbers and varieties of treatment options in acute care settings D. Conflicts within the field of Canadian population health ANS: B Rationale: Diversity or pluralism of moral values and beliefs is characteristic of multicultural countries such as Canada. Ethical pluralism or moral diversity maintains the position that culturally diverse societies display multiple moral standards that may lead to conflicting moral realities. This position is not exclusive to any one field, but rather is applicable to the lived experiences of all people in a society. Emphasis on traditional concepts of moral character is a position of virtue ethics, which has in fact seen a resurgence in recent years.

A. The moral inferiority of masculinity B. The need to promote maternalism over paternalism C. The fact that conflict is unnecessary and that peace is a realizable goal D. The importance of human connectedness and personal relationships ANS: D Rationale: Feminist ethics emphasizes an ethics of care that involves human connectedness and the importance of interpersonal relationships.

A teenage client has confided in the community health professional that she is engaging in high-risk behaviours. This knowledge has created an ethical conflict for the health professional. An application of feminist ethics to this problem should begin with: A. identifying key community stakeholders who may assist with solutions for the problem.

B. enlisting community women to inform the ethical decision-making process.

C. examining the social beliefs and practices that may underlie the ethical problem.

D. providing client education geared to empowering the client in her health behaviours.

ANS: C

Rationale: As a discipline, nursing has evolved largely from feminist ethics.

Feminist ethics aim to examine the moral experience of women and advocate for social change. When health care professionals apply the theories during decision making, they first must consider the client’s social beliefs and practices to properly empathize. By considering the client’s relationships and individual, group, community, and societal levels, the health care professional in this situation may better understand the reason the client engages in these behaviors. The health care professional may then determine how best to educate the client. Seeking the help of outside parties such as community stakeholders or women in the community before fully understanding the context of the ethical problem is less likely to be helpful to the client.

In the process of overhauling a community health policy, the health professionals who participated in the process were conscious of the need to ensure participation and input from individuals and groups who might not otherwise participate in high-level decision making. What concept in public health and community practice have these health professionals enacted?

A. Advocacy B. Empowerment

C. Autonomy D. Inclusion ANS: D Rationale: The practice of inclusion ensures an opportunity for as many people and groups as possible to fully participate in the social and economic benefits of the community or the society. Empowerment may come as a result of inclusion as a community practice, when individuals gain mastery over decisions that effect them and are motivated to participate. Advocacy is the pursuit of influencing outcomes, which the health professionals might do to influence public opinion or policy in favor of the practice of inclusion. In community practice, personal autonomy may be limited when individual choices endanger the community’s well-being. In this instance, the health professionals will seek to promote individuals’ right to self-determination as much as possible, unless their actions encroach upon the needs of others.

Rationale: Population-based screening programs require that there is good evidence that: early diagnosis and treatment can favourably alter the course of the illness; definitive diagnosis and treatment facilities are available; the group is likely to have a high prevalence of the illness; and screening procedures are reliable and valid. At this time, only developmental delay meets these criteria.

In epidemiologic studies, data and statistics make comparison possible among populations. Which is an example of proportion?

A. 2,000 motorcycle fatalities, 1,900 are male and 100 are female. The number of males compared to number of females (1,900/100 or 19 males to 1 female).

B. 2,000 motorcycle fatalities, 1,900 are male and 100 are female; the percentage of males to females would be 1,900/2,000 multiplied by 100, which equals 95%.

C. Crude death rates for heart disease in Manitoba and Saskatchewan were 288.0 and 190.0 per 100,000 persons, respectively.

D. 20,000 people experience seasonal influenza/the total population of New Brunswick residents younger than 20 years of age 100,000.

ANS: B Rationale: A ratio is simply one number divided by another in which there is no specified relationship between the numerator and the denominator. A proportion is one number divided by another in which the numerator is a subset of the denominator (i.e., included in the denominator) and is expressed as a percentage (e.g., 95%).

A. Rates computed for a population as a whole B. Rates related to demographic factors C. (Number of people who experience a condition/Population at risk experiencing a condition) 1,000 D. Summary measure in which statistical procedures remove the effect of differences in the composition of the various populations ANS: D

Rationale: Rates computed for a population as a whole are crude rates. Rates calculated for subgroups are specific rates. The calculation (Number of people experiencing a condition/population at risk for experiencing condition) K is the general formula for calculating rates. An adjusted rate is a summary measure in which statistical procedures remove the effect of differences in the composition of the various populations.

To investigate potential relationships between health conditions and other factors, analytic measures of community health are required. What is relative risk?

A. Incidence among those exposed/Incidence rate among those not exposed B. Odds of having the condition when the suspected factor is present/Odds of having the condition when not exposed to the factor C. Measures the difference between the incidence rates for those exposed and those not exposed to the risk factor D. Identifies whether those in the exposed group will develop the disease or condition when compared with those not exposed ANS: A Rationale: The relative risk expresses the ratio of the incidence rate of those exposed and those not exposed to the suspected factor. Odds ratio is a simple mathematical ratio of the odds in favour of having a specific health condition when the suspected factor is present and the odds in favour of having the condition when the factor is absent. Another measure of risk is attributable risk (AR), which measures the difference between the incidence rates for those exposed and those not exposed to the risk factor. Relative risks and odds ratios provide a point estimate (a number) that identifies whether those in the exposed group will develop the disease or condition when compared with those not exposed.

A rapid screening test for streptococcal disease was completed on a 4-year-old child who presented with a sore throat. The test was reactive, suggesting the presence of streptococcal infection. Additional testing by culture and sensitivity indicated that the child did not have strep throat. The original screening test is described as a: A. true positive.

B. false positive.

C. true negative.

D. false negative.

What rate for this cancer will be least affected by the widespread use of the drug?

A. Incidence rate B. Mortality rate C. Prevalence rate D. 5-year survival rate ANS: A

A community health worker is part of an interdisciplinary team charged with planning and carrying out a new community health initiative. What factor is most likely to have the greatest bearing on the success or failure of this initiative?

A. The presence of a valid, reliable, and current evidence base supporting the initiative B. Representation from a variety of health disciplines in the planning and execution of the initiative C. Logistical support from municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government D. Appropriate, contextualized engagement of community members in all aspects of the initiative ANS: D Rationale: Increasingly, health professionals, researchers, policy makers, and the public have acknowledged that meaningful participation of stakeholders in conceptualizing, developing, and implementing health interventions is vital to the success of such initiatives. The importance of this factor supersedes that of the evidence base, multidisciplinary cooperation, and logistics.

To design and implement a program, what would an effective community development approach require?

A. Funding support, community leaders, and access to experts B. Learning opportunities for health, information technology, and funding support C. Continuous access to information, learning opportunities for health, and funding support D. Continuous access to information, information technology, and access to experts ANS: C

Rationale: Comprehensive action strategies to improve health are embedded within the Ottawa Charter. Community development is one of the cornerstones.

Effective community development requires access to information, regardless of the medium, engagement of a broad constituency of stakeholders (not just experts), and embedded learning opportunities to ensure improvement and progress.

A. Focus on the dominant perspectives in the community B. Incorporate the diverse interests and cultures of the community C. Prioritize incorporation of vulnerable populations in the community D. Use external experts to lead the community development process ANS: B

Rationale: Many actions are fundamental to all community development initiatives. These actions extend the values and principles underpinning community development. Incorporating the diverse interests and cultures of the community is one such action. Focusing on expertise or a single perspective limits the power of the solution.

An inner-city community has been identified by a government ministry as the desired site for a population health promotion initiative. How would recognition of the social trend of democratization of knowledge influence ministry interactions with this inner-city community?

A. Ministry personnel and public health professionals present to the community a detailed description of the evidence that led to the identification of this community.

B. Ministry personnel come to the community with a detailed plan for the population health promotion initiative.

C. Before making the final decision, Ministry personnel and public health professionals engage with community members in ways that reflect respect for community members’ knowledge and expertise.

D. Public health professionals begin implementation of the population health promotion initiative as soon as possible to address the pressing needs in the community.

ANS: C Rationale: One of the key social trends that has influenced public engagement in health decisions is democratization of knowledge. As people become more knowledgeable, they are less likely to automatically trust authority figures and experts. Community members expect to be part of the planning and decisionmaking process for any initiatives that directly affect their community.

A. Directives from international nongovernmental organizations B. The presence of a high-visibility problem or issue C. Excess municipal budget capacity that must be put to use

D. Spontaneous initiative by champions in the community ANS: B Rationale: Often, there is an external catalyst that brings people together against a common “foe.” In some instances, it has been reactions against crime (e.g., gangs, prostitution, violence); in others, it has been a result of externally imposed decisions (e.g., urban renewal, school closings, hospital relocations) or a common issue faced by many residents.

B. A group of coworkers increases its frequency and quality of communication and trust.

C. An elementary school class develops cohesion during a wilderness campout.

D. A university student finds support and connection in a campus political club.

ANS: A Rationale: Bridging social capital is the value generated from social networks that cut across groups, creating connections that have the potential to bring in resources that a group does not currently have, or to share information between groups.

A community health nurse is engaged in a health promotion program that will be implemented in the context of the local Indigenous community. How do Western conceptualizations of individual empowerment tend to differ from Indigenous conceptualizations?

A. Indigenous conceptualizations of empowerment place primary responsibility on the individual, whereas Western notions of empowerment emphasize cultural context.

B. Western conceptualizations emphasize the individual’s identity as a unit discrete from the whole, whereas Indigenous conceptualizations are more relational to people and the environment.

C. Aboriginal conceptualizations of empowerment emphasize biologic and natural factors, whereas Western conceptualizations focus on sociopolitical factors.

D. The Western idea of individual empowerment is linked to improved individual health outcomes, whereas the Indigenous notion emphasizes benefits to the group.

ANS: B

Rationale: Meanings of individual empowerment, on the whole, have been shaped within neocolonial contexts that privilege Western identities, biomedically oriented beliefs, and knowledge systems over others, including those of Indigenous peoples throughout the world and Canada. On the whole, such meanings have tended to view the individual as being a discrete entity--part of, but separate from, the environment. While to some extent individual empowerment occurs within the social context, the development of individual skills and capacities (often used as a proxy for individual empowerment, as in the Ottawa Charter) is often conveyed as occurring within the individual.

Indigenous conceptualizations of individual empowerment, on the other hand, are more anchored to ideas of having a secure cultural identity and are more relational with respect to extended family, land, and metaphysical realities.

Empowerment work with Indigenous communities takes place within the context of contemporary dynamics of economic and cultural globalization, which build on previous forms of Western imperialism. Nurses undertaking empowerment efforts in this context need to recognize: A. the heterogeneity of Indigenous identities and worldviews.

B. the homogeneity of Indigenous identities and worldviews.

C. the totalizing dominance of Western globalization and therefore the very limited possibilities of empowerment work.

D. the outdatedness of traditional Indigenous worldviews and associated cultural identities.

ANS: A Rationale: Globalization (including sociohistoric and contemporary processes of colonization) has very real impacts on the subjectivities and the material realities of people. A critical postmodern view of globalization recognizes the constructed and plural nature of cultural identities and social realities, both within and between cultural communities, and the relevance of this for empowerment practice. First Nations communities, for example, are increasingly asserting their rights to combine traditional, locally based approaches with Western models.

6. A nurse has expressed exasperation at a client’s perceived unwillingness to control his type 2 diabetes. Which should the nurse recognize?

A. Diabetes is a Western concept that may not be shared by the client.

B. The client’s culture may emphasize illness over health.

C. A knowledge deficit may not always be modifiable.

D. Significant external barriers exist to any change in behaviour.

ANS: D Rationale: Evidence abounds that the translation of an individual’s knowledge and skills into health-promoting behaviours and practices is undoubtedly strongly influenced by socioecologic influences such as income, housing quality, location, and social capital. While health is indeed a subjective notion, no culture emphasizes illness over health. Diabetes is a physiologic phenomenon that is not culturally constructed, though the understanding and meaningmaking of the disease is influenced by culture. A knowledge deficit is unlikely to underlie this situation.

Which goal should a community health nurse prioritize in a community health promotion program?

A. The transformation of environments into those that support health B. Changing individuals’ behaviours to create group identity C. Compliance with recognized health behaviours by community members D. Elimination of knowledge deficits in order to improve health ANS: A Rationale: Sustained changes in health-promoting behaviours require the transformation of risk environments to those that support healthy behaviours.

Group identity and compliance are not the appropriate goals and knowledge deficits are unlikely to be central to a community’s health.

A community health nurse has advocated an individualized, person-based approach to health promotion in a community. What is a significant downfall of such an approach?

A. Community health is independent of individual health.

B. People tend to revert to unhealthy behaviours over time.

C. Change is possible only collectively, not individually.

D. Health promotion efforts should focus on changing cultures, not people.

ANS: B Rationale: While individual change is possible, research shows that rates of recidivism are high. Individual health and community health are interconnected.

Culture profoundly affects community and population health, but it is inaccurate to state that health promotion should focus on actively changing a culture.

Individual and community empowerment are likely to exist and result in improved health outcomes when what circumstance exists?

A. There are tangible rewards and benefits available to community members who adopt healthy behaviours.

B. Health promotion activities are planned, implemented, and evaluated solely by members of the community rather than health professionals.

C. The principles of the Ottawa Charter are referenced in the planning stages of health promotion programs.

D. The provision of health care and the policies that underlie that care are aligned with community needs.

ANS: D Rationale: Both individual and collective forms of empowerment require health contexts to be aligned---that is, health-related systems and policy organizations are in accord with community needs and realities. A series of rewards, exclusive involvement of community members in health promotion, and references to the Ottawa Charter do not necessarily mark community empowerment.

A community health nurse recognizes the importance of fostering community settings that are empowering. According to Maton, what is an aspect of empowering community settings that influence individuals, the surrounding community, and the larger society?

A. Empowerment creates an environment in which unhealthy behaviours are met with sanctions.

B. Empowered individuals create a critical mass that encourages compliance with the principles of health promotion.

C. Empowered individuals have the potential to create empowerment among others.

D. Empowerment results in knowledge, which underlies all changes in behaviour.

ANS: C Rationale: Maton cites the “radiating” effect of empowerment, in which empowerment begets empowerment (2008). This process is neither coercive nor punitive. Knowledge is a facet of empowerment, but it is not necessarily the central construct.

Compared with Western notions of health, Indigenous understandings of health are known to be more: A. abstract.

B. unsophisticated.

C. individualistic.

D. holistic.

ANS: D Rationale: Indigenous approaches to health are distinct from Western constructions in that they emphasize wholeness, connection, balance, harmony, and growth. Such approaches are less individualistic than Western ideas of health, and it is erroneous to characterize them as unsophisticated.

12. A nurse has been posted to a Cree reserve to work with the community to plan and provide culturally appropriate health promotion projects. How are members of the community most likely to understand the concept of well-being and empowerment?

A. The empowerment and health of each member of the community are linked on many levels to the other members of the community, including its nonhuman members such as the land.

B. Empowerment is a concept that is merit-based and likely exclusive to the highest-profile members of the community.

C. The members of the community likely feel empowered by the small size of the community.

D. The members of the community are likely to see empowerment as a Western, neocolonial construct that has no place in the community.

ANS: A Rationale: For Indigenous peoples, empowerment is generally much more a collective phenomenon within which the individual is metaphysically indistinct from his or her extended family, ancestors, land, and historical tribal context.

Members of the community are unlikely to see empowerment as purely meritbased. A small community is not necessarily empowered.

Illiteracy is associated with which health outcome(s) and determinants of health? Select all that apply.

A. Obesity B. Low income C. Substance abuse D. Low self-esteem E. Diabetes mellitus ANS: B, C, D Rationale: Low literacy has several indirect effects on health. Illiteracy may lead to difficulty obtaining and retaining employment, which in turn may result in low income, low self-esteem, social isolation, and the abuse of alcohol and tobacco. Although it is associated with poor management of chronic conditions, it is not identified as a direct contributor to diabetes or obesity.

The elders of an Indigenous community have initiated a health literacy campaign to promote health and empowerment among members of the community. This project is likely to be most effective if it: A. actively links health literacy to cultural continuity or connectedness.

B. focuses exclusively on reading and writing skills.

C. emphasizes the importance of possessing the skills to read at a 10th-grade level.

D. focuses on the ability to convey personal opinions and values in written form.

ANS: A Rationale: The mobilization of identities and cultural systems as capacities for individual and community empowerment within health-related initiatives is increasingly apparent within Canada and throughout the world. Approaches to health literacy with Indigenous peoples such as the rainbow approach emphasize multiple forms of literacy such as knowledge of mother tongue, knowledge of traditional ceremonies and spirituality, as well as the ability to read and write, promote cultural continuity, and therefore empowerment on people’s own terms.

A. A man lacks the knowledge to effectively manage his kidney disease.

B. A woman experiences exclusion from society due to her low income.

C. A man feels patronized by the health professionals that he engages with.

D. A woman’s remote residence limits her access to health care facilities.

ANS: B Rationale: Relative deprivation, or relative access to environmental capacities, is significant with respect to both health and empowerment. Inequalities in incomes are important in that by having “less,” some sectors of the population are excluded socially and materially from the life of society. This phenomenon is not directly attributable to geography or knowledge.

Groups that are culturally and economically marginalized have lower levels of access to environmental supports such as employment, adequate income and housing, and appropriate health care. This is primarily because of: A. personal bigotry toward them.

B. their own ignorance about mainstream culture.

C. structural and personal discrimination.

D. low literacy levels.

ANS: C Rationale: Lack of access to the environmental supports conducive to health is mainly related to the lack of alignment of a community’s realities and cultural values with the rules, norms, and conventions on which institutions and public policies are based. For example, state-owned housing or employment conditions may not be suitable for people with disabilities because they are based on mainstream ableist norms. Furthermore, the ability to produce and disseminate culture or societal norms on a large scale is closely tied to economic or material forms of power. Members of economically and culturally dominant groups (e.g., Caucasian, male, middle class) tend to control major sources of media and therefore hold the power to construct beliefs; often positioning cultural minority groups in negative ways which can lead to personal discrimination and therefore the denial of access or a lower quality of environmental supports for well-being (e.g., appropriate health care).

A transgender person in the process of gender transition presents to a practice nurse with symptoms of work-related stress following a poor performance appraisal. From an empowerment perspective, the practice nurse should: A. respect the client’s privacy and adopt a strictly biomedical approach.

B. adopt a holistic approach which includes learning as much as possible about the person’s working conditions, contexts, collegial relationships, and reoccurring cultural-power dynamics that may have a bearing on work performance and experience of stress.

C. assume that being a transgender person is the primary cause of the person’s stress-related symptoms and immediately refer the person for further help in this area.

D. advise the client to improve work performance to make the stress go away.

ANS: B

Rationale: The nature and context of work, including the individual and collective power relations in employment contexts, can contribute to health inequalities. Using the power-culture lens would enable the nurse to consider how different forms of power (individual, group, and institutional) interacting with cultural systems operative in the workplace (in this case, perhaps, forms of hetero- or gender-normativity) might contribute to stress by limiting the person’s opportunities for success, well-being, and sense of empowerment.

Chapter 7, Creating Supportive Environments for Health: Enabling Community Action 1. The Ottawa Charter of 1986 stated that the protection of the natural and built environments and the conservation of natural resources must be addressed in any health promotion strategy. The principle of reciprocal maintenance is linked to this assertion. What statement best describes the principle of reciprocal maintenance?

A. Caring for each other, our communities, and our natural environment B. Caring for our communities and the natural environment C. Embedding recycle, reduce, and reuse strategies in health promotion initiatives D. Embedding a caring approach in all that we do ANS: A Rationale: The Ottawa Charter specifically describes reciprocal maintenance as caring for each other, our communities, and our natural environment. By including caring for each other, explicit links are drawn between people and their environments. Recent efforts to promote environmental stewardship adopt the slogans of recycle, reduce, and reuse; however, these do not encompass the human and relational components of our global responsibilities. Similarly, while nursing practice emphasizes a general caring approach for the environment, more specific descriptors are required.

What plan for action emerged from the resolutions of this conference?

A. Increase immunization rates B. End prejudice and oppression C. Promote health autonomy D. Educate primary health providers ANS: B

Rationale: Five components for action were identified in Ottawa: ending prejudice and oppression; creating a new vision of environmental choice; fostering technology for assessing our environment; accommodating diversity through participation; and becoming world experts in intersectoral action in the design of healthy environments. Increasing immunization rates, promoting health autonomy, and educating primary health providers are important health promotion strategies, but were not included in the resolutions..

B. Increase the role of private enterprise in the delivery of Canadian health care.

C. Educate the public about the role of the environment in health.

D. Delegate health education from nurses and physicians to citizen action committees.

ANS: C Rationale: Out of the Ottawa conference, four strategies for action arose from a commitment to make healthy environments available to all Canadians: political vision and leadership in all five identified action components; scientific and social research and industrial incentive to produce materials that are cleaner, less risky, and less damaging; public education about environmental effects on health; and legislative review and reexamination of policies to ensure that individuals control their environments.

These deficits included which phenomenon?

A. Health inequalities between rich nations and poor nations B. Increasing apathy about health among residents of developed countries C. Declines in the quantity and quality of health research D. Political interests that run contrary to the principles of population health ANS: A Rationale: Participants at Sundsvall noted the significant health inequalities as reflected in the widening gap in health status both within nations and between rich and poor countries; millions of people live in extreme poverty and deprivation in an increasingly degraded environment; an alarming number of people suffer from the tragic consequences of armed conflicts; and rapid population growth is a major threat to sustainable development forcing people to survive without clean water and adequate food, shelter, or sanitation.

The Sundsvall Statement suggests that interventions to achieve health for all must reflect two basic principles: equity and public action. What action best demonstrates the principle of equity?

A. Investing health capital in a way that ensures a balance between short-term, medium-term, and long-term improvements in health outcomes B. Allocating resources in a way that acknowledges the fact that many groups are marginalized C. Soliciting and integrating input from citizens on the appropriate use of public funds for health D. Aiming to ensure an equal per capita level of health spending between individuals and across communities and populations ANS: B

Rationale: The concept of equity dictates that any action and resource allocation should be based on clear priorities and a commitment to those marginalized by poverty, gender, race, or disability. Equity is not synonymous with equality in spending and does not necessitate a balance between shortterm and longer-term outcomes.

Management of a provincial government office has noted a sharp increase in employees' sick time in the past several months and has now consulted community health nurses. What phenomenon has the greatest potential to affect these workers' rates of illness?

A. Indoor workers are vulnerable to the effects of water pollution in the pipes of high-rise buildings.

B. “White collar” workers often suffer the effects of low activity levels and a sedentary lifestyle.

C. Sudden increases in sick time usually result from a cultural normalization of absenteeism in a workplace.

D. The accumulation of indoor contaminants existing in “sick buildings.”

ANS: D

Rationale: Pollutants can also arise from poor building ventilation that allows contaminants from building materials, furnishings, heating, cooking, consumer products (e.g., tobacco, perfumes), and the soil to build up indoors. This often results in “sick buildings.” A sedentary lifestyle is associated with illness, but this is unlikely to result in a sudden or sharp increase in sick time.

C. “As much as possible, it's best to avoid getting a job where you'd be required to be outside for long periods.”

D. “Apart from advocating for measures to preserve the ozone layer, there's little you can personally do to alter your risk of skin cancer.”

In an effort to foster a supportive environment for health, a nurse is aware of the importance of settings. Which statement is true of a settings approach to environmental health?

A. The success or failure of strategies to create supportive environments depends largely on the characteristics of a unique context.

B. Human relationships are the sole determinant of the quality and character of environmental health initiatives.

C. A health promotion strategy that was effective in one setting is, by definition, inappropriate for any other setting.

D. A health care setting is beyond the influence of nurses and citizens alike.

ANS: A Rationale: The success of health strategies depends on their fit with the people who are involved, the health issue being addressed, and the environmental characteristics of the setting. This does not mean that a setting may never be influenced. People and relationships are central factors but not the only ones.

Strategies may be adopted between different settings.

A. Declaration of Alma-Ata B. Lalonde Report C. Ottawa Charter D. Millennium Development Goals ANS: B Rationale: Several foundational texts influence PHC in Canada, beginning with the Lalonde Report in 1974, followed by the International Conference on Primary Health Care that resulted in the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978, which was followed by the Ottawa Charter in 1986, and Millennium Development Goals in 2000.

One of the stated goals of the Declaration of Alma-Ata was to achieve “Health for All.” What action best demonstrates one of the principles that formed the basis of Health for All? A. Teaching elementary students how to integrate physical activity into their daily routines B. Providing tax incentives for pharmaceutical research and development C. Building more community-based hospice care facilities for acute needs clients D. Providing outreach to encourage members of minority groups to secure positions in the health care professions ANS: A Rationale: One of the principles of Health for All was the reorientation of the health system for the promotion of health and prevention of disease and injury, a principle that is enacted by teaching people to adopt healthy lifestyles.

Minority participation in health care, encouraging research and development, and funding more hospital beds are all laudable actions, but they do not directly exemplify the principles of Health for All. PTS: 1 DIF: Difficult REF: Page and Header: 108, Primary Health Care

The most recent revisions to “Health for All” specify the need for universal access to health care and coverage on the basis of need. In the spirit of this revision, how should this principle be translated into policy and practice?

A. Those who require health care should receive the care that is necessary.

B. Health care spending per capita should be equal regardless of social status.

C. Governments should be the sole funders of a nation’s health care systems.

D. No individual should have access to unnecessary health care procedures.

ANS: A Rationale: This principle suggests that all residents of a community should be able to get the care that they need. It does not necessarily mean that governments should be the sole funders of health care or that spending should be identical per capita.

The Declaration of Alma-Ata identifies eight essential services as components of primary health care. Among these is maternal and child health care, which was included as a means of: A. fostering reproductive rights and reducing infant mortality.

B. promoting breast-feeding and decreasing long maternal hospital stays.

C. controlling traditional birthing practices and improving access to medical care.

D. increasing access to quality technology and boosting economic stability.

ANS: A

Rationale: At a policy level, family planning and other maternal and child health care initiatives (e.g., immunization) are grounded in reducing infant mortality rates and increasing chances of children living to adulthood. While programs for breast-feeding and decreasing hospital stays may achieve this, these are specific initiatives that do not operate at a broad, international policy level, where local contexts (i.e., hunger, secure food supplies, traditional wellness infrastructure) may require adapted approaches. While PHC seeks to improve access to medical care, in principle it does not dismiss traditional health practices nor emphasize that access to quality technology will invariably improve well-being. Furthermore, the Declaration of Alma-Ata is articulated around a social justice and community participation vision of health, rather than justifying reoriented health services through the prospect of economic stability.

Which factor has most influenced the current, predominant understanding of health in Canada?

A. Increases in the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases B. The Western, biomedical model of health C. The eradication of many infectious diseases D. The community-oriented, collectivist orientation of Canadian cultures ANS: B Rationale: In countries such as Canada, one of the most salient influences on the character and organization of health care has been the Western, biomedical model of health and illness. There is an individualistic, not collectivist, character to Canadian culture. Although chronic diseases are becoming more common while infectious diseases become less common, this trend is less significant to shaping predominant understandings of health grounded in Western philosophical underpinnings.

C. Management establishes conditions for the development of a healthy workplace.

D. Organization has planned approach for collaboration with other health service levels/institutions/sectors.

E. Management defers to Board of Governors in questions of professional misconduct.

ANS: A, B, C, D Rationale: The WHO has established standards for assessing the quality of health promotions in hospitals, which address management policy, patient assessment, information and intervention, promoting a healthy workplace, and continuity and cooperation. These standards aim to assist hospitals in their role in health promotion by incorporating capacity building and organizational change to promote health. Issues of professional misconduct are not specified in the WHO’s list.

A. Community development initiatives would replace acute care and treatment services.

B. The role of physicians in the health care system would be phased out.

C. More money would be spent on health promotion and illness/injury prevention services.

D. Individuals would bear the direct costs of their health care in order to foster accountability.

ANS: C Rationale: Position statements such as the Lalonde Report do not advocate the abandonment of acute care or physicians’ services, but rather recommend a greater proportion of health care spending on health promotion and disease prevention. User-pay systems are not recommended.

B. broadly mobilizes forces within the society toward a transformed health systems agenda.

C. implements treatment- and cure-based efforts to tackle preventable diseases.

D. is principally located in health-promoting hospitals.

ANS: B Rationale: PHC is not uniquely physician- or even health service provisionfocused, nor dedicated predominantly to disease treatment efforts. It is located broadly within society and not uniquely within hospitals, even if these are health promoting.

School health promotion is expected to: A. hold teachers accountable for the well-being of children with whom they work.

B. reduce injury and psychosomatic symptoms of bullying.

C. enable routine drug testing among at-risk youth.

D. train children to have more confidence in the health care system.

ANS: B Rationale: Health promotion in schools is based on the idea that children and youth with safe, health-promoting school environments are more likely to view school as a positive experience and are less likely to engage in risk behaviours.

A health-promoting school provides education on media literacy, problemsolving, and communication skills, and provides support services to allow students to become healthy, productive members of society, thereby reducing injury and violence (e.g., bullying). Teachers alone are not accountable for the well-being of children; rather, administration, staff, faculty, and students all must act together to promote health. The focus of health promotion in schools is not to train children to have more confidence in the health care system, but rather to encourage students to become responsible for their own lifelong health practices. Routine drug testing is not expected in the course of school health promotion.

B. A hospital purchases and distributes staff copies of health promotion manual from disciplinary bodies.

C. A hospital has diverse disaster response plans in distinct units of the institution.

D. A hospital budgets for infrastructure to support disaster response plans.

A. Primary care movement B. Health training movement C. Community involvement movement D. Health promoting hospitals movement ANS: D Rationale: Client participation in service planning in hospitals emerged through an international movement for health-promoting hospitals that was beyond a primary care or uniquely staff training focus. While inclusive of nonmedical people in health service planning, delivery, and evaluation, this movement began with a focus on clients and not the wider community in which a hospital is located.

C. “We need to acknowledge that not everyone who uses our hospital lives near to it.”

D. “We should stop relying on tried-and-true methods of treatment and be more ready to embrace innovation.”

ANS: B Rationale: The HPH movement involves an acknowledgement that it is necessary to create capacity for healthful change. The movement does not imply that hospitals exist for their staff or that innovative treatments are imperative.

B. Health is necessary in order for a student to be able to learn effectively.

C. Students are among the least healthy group in Canadian society.

D. Traditional educational content conveys inaccurate messages about health and illness.

ANS: B Rationale: School health promotion is based on the premise that health is a prerequisite for learning. While health problems do indeed exist in school-aged children, they are not among the least healthy Canadians and school is among several likely points of contact between students and the health care system.

Health teaching in schools has not been identified as inaccurate.

Some members of the community have expressed confusion at the fact that the regional health authority has opposed a waste reduction plan that would involve trucking garbage to a rural landfill at great expense. Why is this aspect of community life relevant to the health care sector?

A. Efficient logistics are an indicator of healthy communities.

B. Factors that influence the health of communities and the environment have an effect on the health of residents.

C. The mandate of health care systems in the primary health promotion model is administrative.

D. Waste management most often falls within the legal jurisdiction of health care systems.

ANS: B Rationale: A reorientation of health services means embracing movements that are outside the traditional health purview, such as the programs that are developing to ensure the cities, towns, and neighbourhoods in which we live are safe and healthy. This does not mean that health services necessarily have the primary or sole responsibility for such issues, however. Health care systems do not normally have a broad administrative mandate.

Creating partnerships between acute care health workers, community health workers, and health administrators D. Ensuring that recognized experts are present and involved in all aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation ANS: C Rationale: A critical component to capacity building is the development and enhancement of partnerships between different sectors in the health system.

Punitive measures do not promote capacity building, and professionals from a biomedical background or mindset should not be excluded. Expertise is needed, but experts need not be central in all aspects of such a program.

Chapter 9, Economic Thinking in Healthy Public Policy 1. A nurse is asked by the Manager of Health Promotion to create a healthy public policy on prenatal care for the poor that will guide public health nurses. Is the Manager using the term healthy public policy correctly in this context?

A. Yes, the health sector serves the public and promotes the welfare of the public.

B. Yes, healthy public policy requires collaboration and support from many levels.

C. No, only elected officials write public policy. The stated purpose is internal to the organization.

D. No, what is asked for is not policy but is terms of reference for public health nurses.

ANS: C Rationale: Public policy is defined as “the actions of government and the intentions that determine these actions.” It does not include the actions that result from public policy. The Manager, although being in the health sector, is not an elected official, and the intent of the policy is organizational, that is, employee roles.

A. The staffing budget for a health promotion campaign that proved ineffective B. The construction costs of building a proposed hospital addition C. The funding required for increasing the number of seats in a university’s nursing program D. The prices of the drugs commonly stocked in a hospital unit ANS: A Rationale: A sunk cost is something that cannot be recovered no matter what happens, and, as such, should not bear on the decision-making process once it has been spent. An example would be wages that have been paid out. Proposed spending or recurring costs are not normally sunk costs.

B. trade-off.

C. cost--benefit analysis.

D. fixed cost.

A provincial government has decided to direct newly available funds toward hiring doctors and nurses in rural areas. The province can hire either two doctors or ten nurses. In the end, the province decides to hire ten nurses. What is the opportunity cost of this decision?

A. The wages and benefits of the ten nurses hired B. Two doctors C. Additional health care workers in urban areas D. The public’s preference for doctors over nurses ANS: B Rationale: The opportunity cost of any choice or decision is what is given up to hire the nurses, in this case, that would be the two doctors. Since the money is for nurses in rural areas, urban areas are not part of the decision-making process. There was no opportunity in this particular choice to change public preference.

A. A tax on cigarettes B. A ban on cigarette company advertising C. Labeling cigarette cartons with graphic images of smoking’s health effects D. Keeping cigarettes out of view in stores ANS: A

B. Some employer insurance plans only reimburse 70% of drug costs.

C. Waitlists for some procedures are so long that the individuals waiting suffer poor health outcomes.

D. New health care technology can be more expensive than a province is willing to pay.

B. residents will be responsible for leading the program.

C. residents will all be able to access the program.

D. every resident will benefit from the program in the same way.

C. Social justice issues affect the health of all Canadians.

D. Students’ practicum placements may include vulnerable populations.

ANS: C Rationale: The fact that social justice issues affect the health of all Canadians is the strongest argument presented, as it emphasizes the great impact and importance of social justice and equity issues. Although the other options are accurate statements, they refer to smaller-scale implications and are therefore not the most compelling reason for health professionals to learn about the concepts of social justice and equity.

B. Each member of the community utilizes the same quantity and type of health services.

C. All members of the community have similar opportunities to advance and protect their health.

D. No members of the community use more health services than other members.

B. ensure that the language used does not contribute to marginalization.

C. educate Indigenous Canadians about how to make better lifestyle choices.

D. arrange for equal representation from Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.

ANS: B Rationale: It is important to examine language closely to ensure that it does not further contribute to marginalization or discrimination.

A. Collaborating closely with members of other health disciplines B. Lobbying for increased funding for provincial and territorial health care systems C. Educating Canadians about the need to adopt healthy lifestyle practices D. Advocating for a shift in emphasis from illness care to health promotion ANS: D Rationale: One of the significant barriers to a focus on the determinants of health and health equity is the current illness care system. Until the focus shifts from illness care to an upstream focus on prevention and health promotion, little change is likely to occur. Health equity will not necessarily be achieved solely through an increase in funds for health care systems. Similarly, collaboration is important but does not necessarily lead to health equity. A focus on “lifestyle” does not accurately reflect the realities of the determinants of health.

D. A new housing development is mandated to include pedestrian and cycling paths.

ANS: D Rationale: Requiring a developer to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists is outside the health care sector, but is a policy that has a direct impact on public health.

Belonging to a specific group of individuals who share a common social and cultural heritage D. A research framework that is used to provide the ability to focus on the culture of the community where the nurse is practicing ANS: B Rationale: Ethnocentrism is a tendency to see reality through one’s own cultural perspective---a culture that is deemed necessary, normal, and desirable.

Rationale: Cultural relativism is the view that beliefs are influenced by and best understood within the context of culture. This theory developed by anthropologists is used to prevent the natural tendency to judge other cultures in comparison with one’s own and to promote the collection and analysis of information about other cultures without this bias.

A community health nurse is providing direction to a new orientee who has admitted how difficult it can be to avoid stereotyping members of other cultures.

Which teaching point should the nurse provide to the orientee?

A. “It is inherently racist to categorize people and it’s important to consciously avoid looking for similarities.”

B. “Remember that any differences between people and groups are actually superficial and ultimately insignificant.”

C. “Try to focus on information from the current situation instead of generalizations when you interact with members of other cultures.”

D. “As long as your stereotypes are accurate and thoughtful, you can use them to streamline many of your interactions with clients.”

ANS: C Rationale: Stereotyping involves the rejection of individual differences in favour of simplistic explanations.

If risk factors are established, then primary prevention can serve to prevent them from becoming disease, while secondary prevention exists to detect and treat early disease. The term prima facie (“at first appearance”) is not a medical term and does not refer to levels of prevention.

A. The mix of prevention activities and human resources in a care setting B. The number of health professionals within a given care setting C. The size of a care facility D. The location of a care facility ANS: A Rationale: Levels of care include primary care and primary health care systems, which often focus on primary and secondary prevention activities, secondary care systems often focus on secondary prevention activities, but may also focus on primary prevention activities, and tertiary care systems refer to highly specialized centres and systems for the management of advanced disease and injury.

A. Participation in local committees on establishment of green grocers in the community B. Participation in screening for diabetes C. Treatment of clients with malnutrition D. Participation in a multidisciplinary clinic to counsel clients on appropriate healthy food choices ANS: D Rationale: The counseling of clients on healthy food choices presumes that they are at some risk from eating unhealthy foods already (either because they already eat them sometimes or they may eat them in future). Primary prevention includes preventing risk factors for becoming disease, and so counseling about said risks would be an appropriate primary preventive measure. Preventing the risk of exposure to unhealthy food from existing by placing healthy vendors in a community would be a primordial preventive measure.

Harm reduction is founded on several key principles. The understanding that risk-taking is a natural part of the human experience is related to which principle?

A. Pragmatism B. Human rights/autonomy C. Focus on harms D. Priority of immediate goals ANS: A

Rationale: The principle of pragmatism supports the need for harm reduction initiatives because it is based on the acknowledgement that there will always be individuals engaged in higher-risk activities. The principle of human rights/autonomy is based on the notion of respect and dignity for all people, thereby contesting the moral condemnation often associated with higher-risk activities. A focus on harms addresses the negative health impact of higher-risk behaviours rather than the behaviour itself, and the priority of immediate goals addresses the context in which people live and are largely influenced by the social determinants of health.

Rationale: The importance of social determinants of health cannot be overstated.

Harm reduction is a proven strategy in the context of high-risk activities, but it is not a framework for quaternary prevention.

A. Children between 3 and 8 B. Youth and young adults

C. Clients between their 30s and 50s D. Older adults ANS: B Rationale: Preventing mental health issues involves both population-level and targeted interventions. The window of opportunity for prevention occurs early in life. About half of all mental illnesses emerge by the age of 14, and 75% are present by the age of 24. Many mental illnesses are not diagnosable in young children.

A. “We will conduct health education in locations convenient for residents.”

B. “Education and interventions will focus on strengthening families.”

C. “Education will prioritize the needs of recent immigrants to Canada.”

B. provide short-term support for individuals in mental distress until specialized services can be accessed.

C. apply the material in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition during emergencies.

D. recognize and diagnose mental disorders among people who have not yet been referred for psychiatric care.

ANS: B

Rationale: Like other forms of first aid, MHFA is provided to a person who is experiencing difficulty until more specialized services can be engaged. Users do not make diagnoses and it is not a replacement for inpatient care when it is necessary.

B. receiving adequate inpatient care.

C. cured of schizophrenia, or very close to being cured.

D. living well despite the presence of schizophrenia.

ANS: D Rationale: In the mental health context, recovery does not mean cure. Recovery means living well in the presence or absence of illness. It is not limited to inpatient treatment. The client has not necessarily had a serious exacerbation recently.

B. “Have you been adhering closely to your prescribed treatment?”

C. “What have you been up to since we last met?”

D. “What would you say are your greatest strengths?”

B. avoiding any mention of the client’s mental illness.

C. forming a strong therapeutic partnership with the client.

D. helping the client understand the motivation behind his behaviours.

ANS: C Rationale: An orientation toward recovery means shifting from largely provider-centred and medically oriented services toward partnerships with patients. There is no need to avoid mentioning the client’s illness.

Evidence-informed care and helping clients understand their motivations are beneficial, but do not directly demonstrate a focus on recovery.

A. Reducing inpatient treatment for mental illness B. Increasing education about mental health for health care providers

C. Teaching clients with mental illness to better advocate for their needs D. Educating police officers about mental health and mental illness ANS: B Rationale: Education of health professionals is a key strategy for the integration of mental health into public health practice. Educating police officers helps them meet the acute needs of persons with mental illness, but does not integrate mental health into the larger system. A reduction in inpatient treatment does not help achieve this goal. Teaching persons with mental illness to advocate for their individual needs is unlikely to lead to a system-wide change.

B. prioritizing psychological needs over physiologic needs.

C. assessing every client’s mental status, coping skills, and thought patterns.

D. collaborating with a psychiatric nurse whenever possible.

ANS: A

Rationale: Embedding mental health into practice requires the use of a recovery-oriented framework for practice. It is not always possible or necessary for a nurse to collaborate with a psychiatric nurse. Physiologic needs often supersede psychological needs, at least in the short term. Different clients require different assessments; it is not always necessary to assess every client’s mental status, coping skills, and thought patterns.

B. oppose the construction of large, luxury homes.

C. advocate to increase the amount of parkland that the city sets aside.

D. ensure landlords do not discriminate against applicants with mental illness.

ANS: D Rationale: Ending stigma in discrimination in housing is integral to creating a supportive environment. The presence of a series of wellness centres does not necessarily enhance housing conditions. In the same way, increasing the number of parks does not enhance housing. It is likely unnecessary for the nurse to oppose construction of large homes.

A. Ability to share and remix content B. Mobility of messaging C. Increased speed of delivery D. Scale of interaction between one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many ANS: D Rationale: People have always adapted and remixed content, passed it around, and have managed to do so quickly; however, all of those interactions are largely predicated on a one-to-one engagement from individual to individual, whereas the modern version powered by ICT allows for a rapid scaling of communication in multiple directions instantaneously, which is distinctive from anything that has come before it.

Which of the following are literacies related to eHealth literacy? Select all that apply.

A. Information literacy B. Health literacy C. Nursing literacy D. Media literacy E.

A. Stand-alone, Adjunct, Integrated B. Stand-alone, Adjunct, Interconnected C. Independent, Connected, Interconnected D. Independent, Adjacent, Integrated ANS: A Rationale: The first order is Stand-alone, reflecting the independence of the intervention from other campaigns that may be underway. The second order is Adjunct in that it is a complement to another intervention, providing additional information or opportunities that are not present in the other program or intervention. The third order is Integrated as social media is not just connected to other aspects of interventions using different media, but is an integral part of the success of that intervention and not an optional adjunct.

Which of the following best illustrates risks and opportunities associated with engaging the public in discussion of controversial public health issues through social media?

A. An organization may lose followers because of the controversy, while attracting new ones who can rally around a cause.

B. Being critical of misinformation online ensures that those spreading incorrect or potentially harmful information are identified as spreading harmful messages so that their followers can stop engaging with them and start following evidence-informed sources.

C. The risk is that the public may be exposed to harmful information, however, the opportunity is that the organization can assert its authority as a trusted source for health knowledge.

D. An organization may highlight some of the flaws in a particular argument or provide a contrary position, but it may also draw attention to those promoting harmful or unhealthy positions in the process of doing so.

ANS: D Rationale: Social media users follow people for a variety of reasons and often not just because of the quality of information. Health promoters must proceed with caution and not risk disengaging individuals by preaching to them, denigrating their choices of who to follow, while also balancing a desire to correct misperceptions, incomplete information, incorrect or poor-quality data, or deliberately false claims.

Sensitize yourself to the needs of both health promotion organizations and audiences D. Create space for conversation, not just one-sided, unidirectional messages E. Make connections between people, concepts, and content whenever possible ANS: A, C, D, E Rationale: Norman and Muzumdar (2013) provide four key recommendations for health promoters who are seeking to engage audiences through social media, particularly on issues of social determinants of health: (1) Have a distinct, clear message; be authentic; and share what you know; (2) Create space for conversation, not just one-sided, unidirectional messages; (3) Whenever possible, make connections between people, concepts, and content: hyperlink, mention, and tag; and (4) Sensitize yourself to the needs of both health promotion organizations and audiences. It is important to have a perspective and to communicate that to others, but also use social media as a vehicle for listening and learning.

E. There will a resurgence of older technologies fueled by a backlash against the cost of newer technologies.

ANS: A, B, C Rationale: As more of the world’s population uses social media and engages with each other, ideas will continue to evolve and the demand for social connectivity is likely to rise, creating more challenges for privacy and for researchers seeking to understand how social media influences the world.

Rationale: System dynamics produce an environment where the impact of a social media action may be felt far from the source within the system; that is, actions from a city centre can immediately influence multiple, distant recipients. System dynamics does not involve focusing solely on younger or more educated people. It is important to include the public in the planning process, but it is not an aspect of system dynamics.

C. “We can purchase a pre-existing health promotion program that can save us a lot of time and energy.”

D. “If we do this right, we can create a new and unprecedented network of influence.”

A. An antismoking campaign that exists solely on Twitter and YouTube B. A campaign against sexually transmitted infections that includes pamphlets and television advertising C.

Rationale: The suicide hotline promoted via Twitter, Facebook, and radio advertising is an example of an adjunct intervention. An adjunct (second-order) campaign is one in which social media is designed to be used along with another type of resource. A stand-alone tool includes only one resource used independently of any other resources, such as a social media-only anti-smoking campaign. A third-order intervention, like the multifaceted crisis intervention campaign in this scenario, is part of an integrated program of delivery where the ICT is but one component. Unlike second-order interventions, a third-order intervention is embedded within a larger program, and the resource is not viewed as integral to the larger initiative or apart from it.

These concepts are person, environment, and health. Within the CCAP model, the person is a population or an aggregate. Environment is a network of people and their surroundings. Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Nursing is based on definitions of the other three concepts; it is prevention.

3. A community health worker is using the Canadian Community as Partner (CCAP) model to complete a community health assessment. The community health worker is reviewing the flexible line of defence, depicted as a broken line around the community and its normal line of defence (Comm-NLD). What does the flexible line of defence represent?

A. The level of health the community has reached over time B. The internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors C. A buffer zone that represents the result of a temporary response to a stressor D. Tension-producing stimuli that have the potential of causing disequilibrium in the system ANS: C Rationale: The flexible line of defence is the buffer zone representing a dynamic level of health resulting from a temporary response to stress. Normal line of defence is the level of health the community has reached over time. Lines of resistance are internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors.

A. The community health worker should delegate responsibility for implementation to community members.

B. The community health worker will care for the individuals in the community.

C. The people in the community need to feel a sense of ownership of the program.

D. The community health workers will interact professionally with people while implementing the plan.

ANS: C Rationale: The people of the community need to feel a sense of ownership of the program or event, which can come only with their full participation in the decisions regarding planning as well as their assuming some responsibility for implementation. The profession of nursing is one of nurturing, sustaining, and caring for others. It is part of our profession to do for others what they would do for themselves if they were able. Indeed, most nurses interact professionally with people during an altered health state that requires nurses to do for others, but this is not true in community health nursing.

A. Mantoux tests for tuberculosis B. Screening infants for developmental delays C. Blood pressure screenings for elderly people D. Weekly adult exercise and fitness sessions ANS: D Rationale: Primary prevention improves the health and well-being of the community, making it less vulnerable to stressors. Health-promotion programs are primary prevention, as are programs that focus on protection from specific diseases. Usually, health promotion is nonspecific and directed toward raising the general health of the total community, such as conducting adult exercise/fitness sessions. Secondary prevention begins after a disease or condition is present.

Emphasis is on screening, early diagnosis, and treatment of possible stressors that may adversely affect the community's health. The Mantoux test for tuberculosis, the screening test for developmental delays, and blood pressure assessments are secondary prevention interventions.

B. Budget and staff resources are limited to those the community can afford to allocate to the program.

C. The community is responsible for marketing the program to the target population.

D. There is cooperation among agency personnel, community leaders, and the target population.

A. Conduct the interventions associated with the program in public locations B. Enlist members of the community in the planning and implementation of the program C. Provide multiple opportunities for participants to provide input and feedback D. Ensure that the structure and content of the program are evidence based ANS: B Rationale: Facilitating active involvement by community members is one of the most effective ways to promote community ownership. A public location and multiple opportunities for feedback are likely valid components of a program but are not likely to create a sense of ownership.

C. The program addresses a community diagnosis that applies to majority of individuals in the community.

D. The program is delivered by nurses with a community health, rather than acute care, background.

ANS: A Rationale: Programs with a true community health focus take the larger systems of family and community into context. Community-oriented and community-focused programs seek to improve the health of groups of people to benefit the quality of life and well-being of the community at large.

It is important to allow for flexibility because evaluation approaches must not be rigid and prescriptive, or it will be difficult to document the incremental, complex, and often subtle changes that occur. Use of multiple approaches is important because evaluation methods are numerous and varied. No single approach is favoured, but the method chosen must be congruent with the purposes of the program.

A. The community is a partner B. Many people must participate in the evaluation C. Evaluation of a program should exclude those involved in delivery D. An inquiry team should form the evaluation ANS: C

Rationale: The orthodox tradition generally excludes the people who deliver programs from the evaluation process. Typically, when we talk about evaluation, we refer to it as “program evaluation”. We talk as if it is the program alone that is to be evaluated, without reference to the people delivering or receiving it.

Evaluators are subjective partners with participants and stakeholders E. Many things that exist are not empirically verifiable ANS: B, C, D, E

Rationale: The assumptions dominant in CAE show that statistics must be understood in context and can often only be understood in context, therefore, statistical analysis may be useful but not essential. The assumptions that phenomena must be considered in context, that learning often occurs in private, and that evaluators’ are in subjective collaboration are all central assumptions of CAE. The model also acknowledges that many things that exist are not empirically verifiable.

A community nurse is asked to form an inquiry team for an evaluation of nursing practices in her health unit. After examining potential biases, what should the nurse do next?

A. Establish key questions B. Contact other nurses C. Identify all key stakeholders D. Research past evaluations ANS: C Rationale: An inquiry team is made up of all key stakeholders. This team then creates the questions for the evaluation. Other nurses are just one facet of this team. Past evaluations may be deemed important but they are not part of the formation of the team.

The Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE) process is most accurately described as: A. iterative and cyclical.

B. focused and linear.

C. solitary and research oriented.

D. formative and summative.

ANS: A Rationale: The process of CAE is cyclical and iterative. Reflecting, planning, and acting are ongoing processes that are inserted into the process repeatedly. The process is not linear and it occurs within a group of stakeholders. Only some of the evaluation will be solitary. Formation and summation are similarly part of the process but do not describe the CAE process as a whole.

An inquiry team has set questions for the evaluation of their program and they now need to collect data. The main characteristic of the method they choose should be that it is: A. efficient.

B. innovative.

C. behavioural.

D. participatory.

ANS: D Rationale: The main guiding principle is that the process be participatory.

Behavioural research seeks to identify and change behaviour, which the Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE) process is not concerned with unless the inquiry team has deemed it necessary. Innovation and efficiency are not among the main criteria.

Ethics in Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE) are centred on the principles of confidentiality, anonymity, and volunteerism. How is the concept of volunteerism best described?

A. Having confidence in the agreed process of the evaluation B. Having the right to withdraw from the evaluation process C. Protecting the identity of the participants D. Ensuring information is communicated transparently ANS: B Rationale: Ethics are a central part of CAE. In order to remain ethical, all of the answers are correct. The principle of volunteerism, however, means that the participants are aware that they have the option to withdraw from the process at any time.

BLM: Cognitive Level: Understand 18. In order to ensure a sustainable result of Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE), the nurse should prioritize what outcome?

A. The CAE should make all stakeholders better off as a result of the process.

B. The planners should ensure safety standards are met.

C. The program should be cost effective.

D. The CAE should generate new programs.

ANS: A Rationale: The CAE aims to make all participants better off as a result of the process. This perspective ensures that participation is useful to the stakeholders.

Safety, cost, and new programming may occur but they are secondary considerations. To gain sustainability, the programmers should also build capacity and ensure long-term support.

At what stage of a program should an evaluation take place?

A. At the end B. After several months have gone by C. Throughout the program D. When the inquiry team has decided ANS: C Rationale: An evaluation process is most effective if it is ongoing. The Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE) requires that evaluations are an ongoing aspect of the program. Most evaluations that happen in the end or after several months do not impact the program and have not impact on making the program ongoing and effective.

An inquiry team is ready to disseminate results. What consideration should the team prioritize?

A. The cost of disseminating the information B. The effect that the information will have on the community C. Getting the information to as large an audience as possible D. Finding the best method to communicate with each of the stakeholder groups

ANS: D Rationale: The method of dissemination should be different for each of the groups involved. Information for nurses will not be effective to communicate with other clients. Therefore, during the Collaborative Action Evaluation (CAE) process, methods for information dissemination should be generated and should be specific and targeted. Getting information to a large group is less important than making sure the information is effectively communicated.
