Instructions to Candidates:
This examination assesses advanced competencies in population health,
epidemiology, health policy, and evidence-based practice as expected in
graduate-level nursing education. You are required to demonstrate clinical
reasoning, analytical thinking, and application of theoretical frameworks to
real-world scenarios. The examination consists of approximately 75 multiple-
choice questions. You are allocated 120 minutes to complete the exam.
Carefully read each question and select the most appropriate answer. Only
one answer is correct for each question. No external materials are permitted.
Core Competency Domains Assessed:
• Epidemiology and Biostatistics
• Population Health Management
• Health Policy and Advocacy
• Evidence-Based Practice
• Social Determinants of Health
• Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
• Ethical and Legal Considerations in Public Health Nursing

educational and preparatory purposes and does not represent actual
examination content.
, Introduction:
The NR546 Final Exam evaluates the learner’s ability to synthesize
epidemiological data, assess population health risks, and apply evidence-
based interventions to improve health outcomes. Emphasis is placed on
critical thinking, interpretation of research findings, and implementation of
public health strategies. Candidates are expected to integrate knowledge
across multiple domains and demonstrate readiness for advanced nursing
practice in diverse community settings.
Q1. A community health nurse is analyzing surveillance data that shows a
sudden increase in cases of a respiratory illness in a specific urban area. What is
the most appropriate first step in addressing this potential outbreak?
A. Implement treatment protocols for affected individuals
B. Notify the media about the outbreak
C. Verify the diagnosis and confirm the outbreak
D. Initiate vaccination campaigns immediately
Correct Answer: C. Verify the diagnosis and confirm the outbreak
Explanation: Confirming the diagnosis ensures that the increase is real and
not due to reporting errors. Treatment (A) is premature without confirmation.
Media notification (B) is inappropriate at this stage. Vaccination (D) may not
be relevant until the causative agent is identified.
Q2. A nurse is evaluating a research study that reports a p-value of 0.03. How
should this result be interpreted?
A. The results are not statistically significant
B. There is a 3% chance the null hypothesis is true
C. The findings are statistically significant at α = 0.05
D. The study has a 97% confidence interval
,Correct Answer: C. The findings are statistically significant at α = 0.05
Explanation: A p-value of 0.03 is less than 0.05, indicating statistical
significance. Option A is incorrect. Option B misinterprets p-value meaning.
Option D confuses p-value with confidence intervals.
Q3. A public health nurse is designing an intervention to reduce obesity rates in
a low-income population. Which factor should be prioritized based on social
determinants of health?
A. Genetic predisposition
B. Access to healthy food options
C. Individual motivation
D. Personal exercise routines
Correct Answer: B. Access to healthy food options
Explanation: Social determinants include environmental and socioeconomic
factors like food access. Genetics (A) is non-modifiable. Motivation (C) and
exercise (D) are influenced by broader systemic factors.
Q4. Which epidemiological measure best describes the number of new cases of
a disease in a population over a specific period?
A. Prevalence
B. Incidence
C. Mortality rate
D. Case fatality rate
, Correct Answer: B. Incidence
Explanation: Incidence measures new cases over time. Prevalence (A)
includes all existing cases. Mortality (C) refers to deaths. Case fatality (D)
reflects severity.
Q5. A nurse is interpreting a cohort study examining smoking and lung cancer.
What is the key advantage of this study design?
A. It is less expensive than randomized trials
B. It can establish causation definitively
C. It measures incidence and risk
D. It eliminates confounding variables
Correct Answer: C. It measures incidence and risk
Explanation: Cohort studies track exposure over time and calculate
incidence. They do not definitively establish causation (B), are often costly (A),
and cannot eliminate all confounders (D).
Q6. A nurse advocates for legislation to improve access to mental health
services. This activity reflects which role?
A. Care provider
B. Researcher
C. Policy advocate
D. Educator
