• 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.

• A. Mass information campaign
• B. Home visit
• C. Community assembly
• D. Community health survey

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To accurately assess the health and social status of a community, conducting a community health survey is essential. This method provides a comprehensive and systematic way to gather data on various health indicators and social determinants within the community. Choices A, B, and C are not as effective in providing a holistic view of the community's health and social status. A mass information campaign may raise awareness but lacks in-depth data collection, a home visit focuses on individual households rather than the entire community, and a community assembly may not reach all community members or provide structured data collection.

• A. International Classification of Diseases
• B. Internal Care Documentation
• C. Intensive Care Division
• D. Integrated Care Department

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: International Classification of Diseases. The ICD is a system used worldwide to classify and code various health conditions and diseases. This system helps in standardizing the documentation and coding of diseases, which is essential for epidemiology, research, and healthcare management. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the widely recognized meaning of the acronym ICD in medical terminology.

• B. "I feel like I cannot get enough food to live any longer."
• C. "I know that I will always be poor so what's the use of trying?"
• D. "People like me are never respected, no matter how well we do."

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The statement "I'm feeling really isolated from everyone and scared" indicates a sense of separation from society and helplessness. This choice reflects feelings of loneliness and fear, which are common among individuals who feel disconnected and helpless. Choices B, C, and D do not directly convey a sense of isolation and helplessness. Choice B focuses on food insecurity, choice C on a resigned attitude towards poverty, and choice D on lack of respect, none of which directly address the feelings of being separated from society and helpless as indicated in the scenario.

5. On admission to the psychiatric unit, the client is trembling and appears fearful. The nurse’s initial response should be to

• B. Introduce oneself and accompany the client to their room
• C. Take the client to the day room and introduce them to the other clients
• D. Ask the nursing assistant to get the client’s vital signs and complete the admission search

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In situations where a client is trembling and fearful upon admission to a psychiatric unit, it is essential to prioritize building trust and reducing anxiety. By introducing oneself and accompanying the client to their room, the nurse can establish a therapeutic relationship, provide a sense of security, and address the client's immediate emotional needs. Choices A, C, and D are not the most appropriate initial responses as they do not directly address the client's emotional state or focus on establishing a supportive relationship.
