1. Community organizing is an important part of the community nursing function. Given the following elements: choosing an organizational structure, identifying and recruiting members, defining mission, vision, and goals, clarifying roles and responsibilities; at which stage do these elements belong?

• A. Program maintenance-consolidation
• B. Dissemination-Reassessment
• C. Community Analysis/diagnosis
• D. Design and initiation

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Design and initiation. These elements such as choosing an organizational structure, identifying and recruiting members, defining mission, vision, and goals, and clarifying roles and responsibilities belong to the design and initiation stage of community organizing. This stage focuses on setting up the foundation and structure of the community organization. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Program maintenance-consolidation refers to maintaining and strengthening existing programs, not establishing new ones; B) Dissemination-Reassessment involves spreading information and evaluating programs already in place; C) Community Analysis/diagnosis is about assessing community needs and identifying issues, not about setting up the initial structure.

2. When planning the care for a young adult client diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, which of these concerns should the nurse determine to be the priority for long term mobility?

• A. Digestive problems
• B. Amenorrhea
• C. Electrolyte imbalance
• D. Blood disorders

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Amenorrhea. Amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation, is a common long-term consequence of anorexia nervosa due to low body weight and hormonal imbalances. Addressing amenorrhea is crucial for the patient's overall health and reproductive potential. Choice A, Digestive problems, may also be a concern in anorexia nervosa, but in terms of long-term mobility, amenorrhea takes priority because of its impact on hormonal balance and bone health. Choice C, Electrolyte imbalance, is important to address in anorexia nervosa due to potential cardiac complications, but it is not directly linked to long-term mobility concerns. Choice D, Blood disorders, while they can occur in anorexia nervosa, are not as directly related to long-term mobility as amenorrhea, which can significantly affect bone health and mobility in the future.

3. As of 2002, the following data was obtained from municipality X: No. of live births - 750, No. of infant deaths - 10, No. of maternal deaths - 6, Total population - 25,000. The 2002 maternal mortality rate of municipality X is:

• A. 15/1000 live births
• B. 12.5/1000 live births
• C. 6/1000 live births
• D. 8/1000 live births

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The maternal mortality rate is calculated as 6 maternal deaths per 1000 live births. The correct answer is C because to calculate the maternal mortality rate, you divide the number of maternal deaths by the number of live births and then multiply by 1000. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not match the given data on maternal deaths and live births for municipality X.

4. The nurse understands that the primary goal of the occupational health program is:

• A. curative care of workers/employees
• B. birth and death rates
• C. disease trends
• D. social environmental conditions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The primary goal of an occupational health program is to provide curative care to workers/employees. This includes preventing and treating work-related illnesses and injuries, promoting workplace safety, and ensuring the well-being of employees in their work environment. Choice B, birth and death rates, is not directly related to the primary goal of an occupational health program. Choice C, disease trends, may be a focus of public health programs but is not the primary goal of an occupational health program. Choice D, social environmental conditions, while important for overall health, is not the primary goal of an occupational health program which is more focused on the health and safety of workers in their work settings.

5. Which of the following is the earliest school of nursing in the country?

• A. Iloilo Mission Hospital School of Nursing
• B. St. Paul's Hospital School of Nursing
• C. University of Sto. Tomas College of Nursing
• D. Manila Central University

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Iloilo Mission Hospital School of Nursing. This nursing school holds the distinction of being the earliest in the Philippines. St. Paul's Hospital School of Nursing, University of Sto. Tomas College of Nursing, and Manila Central University are not the oldest nursing schools in the country, making them incorrect choices.
