• A. BSN, RN
• B. at least 5 years of experience in public health
• C. Master's in public health
• D. all of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To become a regional nurse supervisor, one must possess a BSN and RN credentials to ensure clinical competency. Additionally, a minimum of 5 years of experience in public health is required to demonstrate a solid understanding of the field. Lastly, holding a Master's degree in public health is essential for leadership and decision-making roles. Therefore, all the choices (BSN, RN; at least 5 years of experience in public health; Master's in public health) are necessary qualifications for a regional nurse supervisor.

2. As a community health nurse covering a cluster of Barangays, your population coverage includes the following:

• A. Families in their homes, School population, Workers in factories
• B. Families in their homes, School population, Patients in hospital
• C. All except workers in factories
• D. All except patients in hospital

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Families in their homes, School population, Workers in factories.' As a community health nurse, you are responsible for providing healthcare services and promoting health within the community. This includes visiting families in their homes to assess their health needs, working with the school population to educate them on preventive health measures, and ensuring the health and safety of workers in factories. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not encompass the full scope of a community health nurse's responsibilities. Choice B does not include workers in factories, Choice C excludes an important population group, and Choice D excludes an essential setting where healthcare services are provided.

3. The family presents several problems. Which of the following criteria is considered in determining the priority health problem?

• A. expected consequence of the problem
• B. cooperation and support of the family
• C. involvement of the family members in the problem
• D. modifiability of the problem

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When determining the priority health problem within a family, one key criterion to consider is the modifiability of the problem. This means assessing whether the health issue can be changed or improved through interventions. Choices A, B, and C are not directly related to the priority of the health problem within the family. The expected consequence of the problem, cooperation and support of the family, and involvement of family members are important factors but do not specifically address the priority of the health issue based on modifiability.

4. A client tells the nurse he is fearful of planned surgery because of evil thoughts about a family member. What is the best initial response by the nurse?

• A. Call a chaplain
• B. Deny the feelings
• C. Cite recovery statistics
• D. Listen to the client

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to listen to the client. Listening allows the nurse to establish therapeutic communication, understand the client's fears and concerns, provide emotional support, and help alleviate anxiety. Calling a chaplain (Choice A) may be appropriate if the client requests spiritual support but should not be the initial response. Denying the feelings (Choice B) is dismissive and can hinder trust and communication. Citing recovery statistics (Choice C) is irrelevant and does not address the client's immediate emotional needs.

Rationale: Health literacy refers to the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services necessary to make informed health decisions. It empowers individuals to navigate the healthcare system, understand medical instructions, and advocate for their own health needs. - Choice B, Health equity, is the concept of everyone having a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential and not being disadvantaged due to their social or economic status. - Choice C, Health disparity, refers to differences in health outcomes or access to healthcare between different populations, often influenced by social, economic, or environmental factors. - Choice D, Health promotion, involves efforts to enhance and protect the health of individuals and communities through education, behavior change, and public health initiatives.
