NURS 317 COMPREHENSIVE TEST PAPER
2026 DETAILED SOLUTIONS GUARANTEED
⫸ CD classification. Ans: clinical:
diarrheal, respiratory, CNS, cardiovascular, sepsis
microbiological:
bacterial, fungal, viral, parisitic, prion
means of transmission:
contact, food or water borne, airborne, vector, perinatal
reservoirs:
human, animal, soil, water
public health classifications:
STBBI's, respiratory, enteric borne or food borne or water borne,
vaccine preventable
⫸ Antimicrobial Resistance. Ans: organisms change in a way that
reduces or eliminates
natural phenomenon
intrinsic: naturally resistant
acquired: after being exposed is resistant
⫸ Why report CD's. Ans: reduce the prevalence
it is shared responsibility (local public health departments have the
primary responsibility)
,notifiable disease
provincial and territorial and national: dictate which diseases must be
reportable and then they also must report them and submit data
annually
PHAC -> WHO
local: active surveillance, infection control nurses
- CHN must monitor and report, education, HP, research, policy
⫸ four host factors that influence the spread of disease. Ans: 1.
resistance: the ability of the host to WITHSTAND infection
2. immunity: a resistance to an infectious agent
3. community immunity: resistance of group of people
4. infectiousness: a measure of the potential ability of an infected host
to transmit the infection to other hosts
⫸ Minnesota health wheel. Ans:
⫸ type of information you can use in surveillance. Ans: case
definition, contact definition, contract tracing, mode of transmission,
contact identification, active and passive surveillance
case-finding: locates individuals and families with identified risk
factors and connects them to resources
, ⫸ delegated functions. Ans: Direct care tasks a registered
professional nurse carries out under the authority of a health care
practitioner as allowed by law. Delegated functions also include any
direct care tasks a registered professional nurse entrusts to other
appropriate personnel to perform
⫸ innate vs acquired immunity. Ans: innate = non-specific and
involves protective mechanisms already present in the body at birth to
facilitate immunity (coughing, sneezing, muscous membranes)
acquired = specific, mechanisms for immunologic memory
- active: protection produced by person's own immune response
(natural disease or vaccine)
- passive: transfer of antibodies produced by one human to another
(temporary, breast feeding, placenta)
⫸ anti-vax movement. Ans: - comes from Dr. Paul Wakefields that
showed link between MMR vaccine and autism
⫸ Local vaccine reactions. Ans: Pain, swelling, redness at site of
injection; usually mild, generalized hives
⫸ Systemic vaccine reactions. Ans: fever
malaise
myalgias
