NURS 208 FINAL EXAM 2025 UPDATE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
Measures of morbidity - answersnumber of reported cases or occurrences of disease in a
population
Incidence rate - answers- number of new cases of disease that occur during a specified period
of time in a population at risk for the disease
- measure of risk
- time period must be specified
Incidence = n new cases of disease in time period/n at risk of developing disease during time
period x standard base
Twenty people attended a church picnic on the weekend. By Monday, four individuals exhibited
symptoms of food poisoning. On Tuesday, the CHN records the addition of 2 new cases. What is
the incidence rate for this occurrence? - answersTwo new cases divided by 16 at risk
There are a total of 150 beds at Northwood. Over the course of one weekend, 10 residents test
positive for COVID-19. On Tuesday, Public Health officials record the addition of 6 new cases.
What is the incidence rate for this occurrence? SB: 10,000 - answersIncidence rate = 6 new
cases/134 at risk x 10,000 = 448 per 10,000
Prevalence Rate - answers- measure of existing disease in a population at a given time
- only way to decrease prevalence is cure or death
Prevalence = n cases of disease present in population at specified time/n of people in
population at specified time x SB
There are a total of 150 beds at Northwood. Over the course of one weekend, 10 residents test
positive for COVID-19. On Tuesday, Public Health officials record the addition of 6 new cases.
,What is the incidence rate for this occurrence? SB: 1,000 - answersPrevalence rate = 16
cases/150 x 1,000 = 107 per 1,000
Crude vs Specific - answersCrude - compare the number of deaths from a specified cause
within the entire population
Specific - compare the number of deaths from a specific cause within a particular subgroup with
that whole subgroup
Crude annual mortality rate - answersTotal # of deaths from all causes in 1 yr / # of people in
the population at midyear x 100,000
Age specific mortality rate - answers- specific rates for distinct subgroups within a defined
population
# of deaths from all causes in 1 year in children younger than 10 yrs / # of children in the
population younger than 10 yrs at midyear x 100,000
Case fatality rate - answers- measure of the severity of disease
- proportion of known cases who died of disease in question
Ex: outbreak of 20 cases, 3 people died. case fatality rate = 3/20 x 100% = 15%
Sources of Epidemiologic Data - answers- Public Health Agency of Canada
- Health Canada
- Stats Canada
- Provincial government
- CIHI
- CDC
- WHO
, Cultural humility - answersa lifelong journey of self-reflection and learning. It involves
listening without judgment and being open to learning from and about others. It involves
learning about our own culture and our biases. Cultural humility is a building block for
cultural safety. It is an overarching principle that is threaded through our learning and acts as
the process by which change can occur.
cultural awareness - answersrecognizing that differences and similarities exist between
cultures. Learning about the histories that impact Indigenous Peoples in Canada is an
important part of developing cultural awareness.
Cultural sensitivity - answersgrows when we start to see the influences of our own culture and
acknowledge that we have biases. This can be an eye-opening experience, and it may take
courage and humility to walk this path. Cultural sensitivity is NOT about treating everyone the
same.
Cultural competence - answersdeveloping knowledge, skills and attitudes for working
effectively and respectfully with diverse people. It's about reducing the number of
assumptions we make about people based on our biases. Cultural competency does not
require us to become experts in cultures different from our own.
Cultural safety - answersfor all people to feel respected and safe when they interact with the
health care system. Culturally safe health care services are free of racism and discrimination.
People are supported to draw strengths from their identity, culture and community.
Define health promotion - answers- the process of enabling people to increase control over
the determinants of health and thereby improve their health
- Health promotion has evolved to include individual health behaviours and underlying
determinants of health
- a social-political process, involving multiple interventions, over a prolonged period of time,
action at several levels and across sectors
- Health promotion - wanting to improve our health
