• A. BSN, RN
• B. at least 3 years experience
• C. Master's in public health
• D. at least 5 years experience in public health

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the qualifications for a Nurse Supervisor at the provincial level include a BSN, RN, and a Master's in public health, along with a minimum of 5 years of experience in public health. Choice B, which states 'at least 3 years experience,' is incorrect as the requirement is for at least 5 years of experience in public health.

• 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. A public health nurse can say that she is beginning to achieve her goal of more optimal health for her community when:

• A. people learn self-care
• B. people become involved in determining health care policy

• D. people assume responsibility for their own health

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Achieving optimal health for a community involves multiple factors and indicators. For a public health nurse to begin achieving this goal, it is essential that all relevant indicators are present, not just one or a few. While choices A, B, and D are important components of promoting community health, optimal health for a community encompasses a comprehensive approach where all indicators are considered and addressed. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

4. A nurse is preparing to administer a tuberculosis (TB) test to a client. Which of the following is the correct method for administering this test?

• A. Intradermal injection on the forearm
• B. Subcutaneous injection on the upper arm
• C. Intramuscular injection on the deltoid
• D. Oral administration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct method for administering a tuberculosis (TB) test is through an intradermal injection on the forearm. This technique allows for the proper administration of the test under the skin to assess the body's response to the TB antigen. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the TB test specifically requires an intradermal injection, not subcutaneous, intramuscular, or oral administration.

5. The healthcare provider is screening children at a local community health clinic for infectious diseases. Which child is at the highest risk for hepatitis B virus?

• B. a 3-year-old
• C. a 7-year-old
• D. an 11-year-old

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Newborns are at the highest risk for hepatitis B virus due to potential transmission from the mother. The hepatitis B virus can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. Children born to mothers infected with hepatitis B are at the highest risk of acquiring the infection. Choices B, C, and D are at lower risk compared to a newborn as they are less likely to have been exposed to the virus during childbirth.
