NSG 4028 COMMUNITY HEALTH EXAM
The basic science applied to understanding the health effects associated with chemical
exposures is:
Question options:
Toxicology
Pharmacology
Chemistry
Environmental epidemiology
View Feedback
Toxicology is the study of the health effects associated with chemical exposures.
Question 2 point
Epidemiology:
Question options:
Is a science that studies the poisonous effects of chemicals
Explains the association between learning disabilities and exposure to lead-
based paint at the cellular level
Helps nurses understand the strength of the association between exposure and
health effects
Is a method for tracking the prevalence of a disease
View Feedback
Epidemiology studies the incidence and prevalence of disease,
helping nurses understand the strength of the association
, between exposure and health effects.
Question 3 point
A public health nurse is organizing a multidisciplinary team to address the issue of
water pollution in the community. The most likely members that would be invited to
address this issue would be:
Question options:
Physicians, water sanitation workers, and occupational therapists
Pharmacologists, radiologists, and epidemiologists
Nurse practitioners, pharmacologists, and environmentalists
Geologists, meteorologists, and chemists
View Feedback
Scientists who study how pollutants travel in air, water, and soil are geologists,
meteorologists, and chemists.
Question 4 point
An example of a point source of air pollution is:
Question options:
A smoke stack
The number of cars and trucks
How much fossil fuel is consumed in a community
Ground ozone levels
View Feedback
Point sources of pollution are identifiable sources of air pollution, such as a smoke
stack.
Question 5 point
, If a nurse wanted more information on indoor air quality, which website would be
most helpful?
Question options:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The American Lung Association
“Right to Know”
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
View Feedback
Sources of information about air quality include the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the American Lung Association.
Question 6 point
A nurse is completing an exposure history using the mnemonic I PREPARE. What data
would a nurse collect when asking questions about the first “P”?
Question options:
Present work
Potential exposures
Personal protective equipment use
Problems with health
View Feedback
Present work is the first “P”.
