Multiple Choice
1. In the field of epidemiology, which factor is used to analyze the distribution of a health related
event, state, or process?
a. Climate
b. Seasons
c. Economics
d. Populations
<Answer: d>
<Rationale: Distribution is an analysis by time, place (or space), and population (meaning groups
of persons affected in an organization, population, or society) while focusing on a specified
region or encompassing the globe.>

2. Determinants are the numerous factors that influence health. Which option is considered to be
a determinant?

a. Time and place
b. Health related behaviors
c. Type of population exposed
d. Previous exposure to the disease
<Answer: b>
<Rationale: Determinants are the numerous factors that influence health, such as the geophysical,
biological, behavioral, social, cultural, economic, and political factors. Health related behaviors
are a determinant to diseases.>

3. The public health nurse notices the presence of disease affecting a large number of people,
extending over large areas and crossing international boundaries. Which is the correct
epidemiological term applied to the nurse’s findings?
a. Endemic
b. Epidemic
c. Pandemic
d. Sporadic
, Chapter 1 Assessment Quiz
<Answer: c>
<Rationale: If an epidemic affects a large number of people, extending over large areas and
crossing international boundaries, then it is called a pandemic.>

4. Epidemiology offers a systematic approach to study the distribution and determinants of
various health-related events in order to improve the health of a population. In which additional
setting is epidemiology applicable?
a. Clinical
b. Educational
c. Political
d. Psychological
<Answer: a>
<Rationale: Epidemiology is also applicable in clinical arenas. Clinical epidemiology focuses on
patients and the application of epidemiologic methods to ascertain the efficacy of screening tests,
diagnoses, and treatments in clinical settings.>

5. Omran identifies three major stages in Proposition Two, which poses that a long-term shift
occurs in mortality and disease patterns that results in the gradual displacement of pandemics of
infection. Which is a major stage identified in this proposition?
a. The age of stagnating pandemics
b. The age of environmental disease
c. The age of physical deterioration
d. The age of pestilence and famine
<Answer: d>
<Rationale: Omran outlines 3 major stages identified in Proposition Two: 1. The Age of
Pestilence and Famine, 2. The Age of Receding Pandemics, and 3. The Age of Degenerative and
Man-Made Diseases.>
