it is important to provide accurate information and guidance to medical college students
regarding various topics related to the medical field. In this set of questions and answers,
we will cover various topics ranging from population health to nursing theories, research,
and ethics.Question 1:Which is the true statement regarding the criteria for prioritizing the
needs of a population?Answer: d) It is significant if it is a root cause of other
issues.Explanation: Prioritizing the needs of a population is a critical step in healthcare
planning and management. When prioritizing needs, it is important to focus on issues that
are significant and are the root cause of other problems. Small and large problems may not
always be of equal importance, and stronger populations should not always take priority.
The community’s capacity and willingness to address issues are also important factors to
consider.Question 2:A nurse who enacts evidence-based practice into the work
environment, understands this process always includes the best evidence in the literature,
nursing expertise, and which of the following?Answer: b) Preferences and values of
patients.Explanation: Evidence-based practice involves using the best available evidence in
the literature, combined with nursing expertise, and the preferences and values of patients
to make informed decisions about patient care. Current trends in nursing or random ideas
are not part of the evidence-based practice process.Question 3:Telehealth can be conducted
in a variety of settings, including:Answer: d) All of the above.Explanation: Telehealth can be
conducted in a variety of settings, including the home, clinic, and even in prisons. It is a
convenient and effective way to provide healthcare services to individuals who may not
have easy access to medical facilities.Question 4:Which of the following is when staff nurses
are included in decision making for practice and management?Answer: b) Shared
governance.Explanation: Shared governance is a model of nursing practice where staff
nurses are included in decision-making for practice and management. Collective bargaining,

collaborative working environment.Question 5:To safeguard against workplace violence,
nurses should:Answer: d) Have another staff member present during patient
encounters.Explanation: Workplace violence is a growing concern in healthcare settings. To
safeguard against violence, nurses should have another staff member present during patient
encounters, avoid poorly lit staircases, and avoid using the elevator alone.Question 6:Which
of the following is true related to a pandemic and epidemic?Answer: b) An epidemic is
typically confined to a certain locality, where a pandemic spreads worldwide.Explanation:
Epidemics are typically confined to a certain locality, while pandemics spread globally. In
both cases, the disease may be a root cause of other issues, and people may not be aware
that an epidemic or pandemic is happening. Patients with underlying health issues should
always be concerned about both pandemics and epidemics.Question 7:Nightingale’s theory
key concepts revolve around environmental factors with putting the patient in the best
situation so they can heal, which theory below best aligns with Nightingale?Answer: b)
Abdellah’s Practice Model of Nursing.Explanation: Nightingale’s theory focuses on the

Nursing also incorporates the environment as a critical factor in nursing care.Question
8:Which of the following describes Neuman’s System Model?Answer: a) Offering a visual
view on how stressors penetrate the patient’s system and how the system defends
itself.Explanation: Neuman’s System Model offers a visual view of how stressors penetrate a

and “like.” However, adding as much information as possible to visual materials may reduce
the effectiveness of the presentation.Question 10:Which of the following is NOT a reason
research is important to the profession?Answer: c) Research assists nurses to gain power in
their field.Explanation: Research is important to the nursing profession as it helps nurses to
advance their knowledge, stay updated on current practices, offer the best possible care for
patients, and assist in advocating for patients’ rights. Research is not necessarily related to
gaining power in the field.Question 11:Which is a major reason for the increased focus on
nutrition and exercise over the past few decades?Answer: c) Prevalence of obesity is at an
all-time high.Explanation: The prevalence of obesity is at an all-time high, which has led to
an increased focus on nutrition and exercise. Acute conditions, changes in food sources, and
people living longer do not necessarily contribute to the increased focus on these
areas.Question 12:Which of these theories is based on patient behavior to promote system
integrity?Answer: c) Roy’s adaptation model.Explanation: Roy’s adaptation model is based
on the belief that patients have the ability to adapt their behavior to promote system
integrity. Benner’s theory of novice to expert, Watson’s theory of human caring, and
Neuman’s system model do not emphasize patient behavior in the same way.Question
13:Physical health and mental health are correlated, especially with:Answer: a) The

place.Question 15:What is NOT a correct statement regarding ethics in research?Answer: a)
Simple human surveys do not require an Institutional Review Board (IRB).Explanation:
Simple human surveys, like any other research involving human subjects, require ethical
considerations and an IRB approval. Confidentiality, subjects’ right to withdraw from the
study, and the special care required for vulnerable populations are key ethical
considerations in research.Question 16:A nurse who is communicating in an assertive
manner…Answer: a) Is not violating the rights of others.Explanation: An assertive
communicator is not violating the rights of others and is able to express their own needs
and opinions without being aggressive or dismissive. Using a loud voice to get their message
across or remaining silent on important issues are not effective ways of communicating
assertively.Question 17:Evidence-based practice implementation is the responsibility

measurable outcomes are not necessarily examples of leadership.Question 20:Which is a
nursing assessment related to the whole person in body, mind, and spirit?Answer: b)

in body, mind, and spirit. The assessment takes into account not just physical symptoms,

is based on position or title, and expert power is based on knowledge and
experience.Question 22:A nurse who begins an evidence-based practice change
understands the first step must start with which of the following?Answer: a) Identifying a
problem that needs to be addressed.Explanation: Identifying a problem that needs to be
addressed is the first step in implementing an evidence-based practice change. From there,
change agents can be identified, a literature search can be conducted, and possible barriers
can be addressed.Question 23:All the below are effective strategies to engage others in

8. Evidence-based practice change EXCEPT:Answer: b) Continuing on with satisfying practice
and outcomes.Explanation: Effective strategies to engage others in evidence-based practice
change include using experts to increase knowledge, sharing evidence to support change
proposals, and reminding staff of their obligation to provide optimal care. Continuing with
the same practices and outcomes without change is not an effective strategy for promoting
evidence-based practice.Question 24:Which of the following is an important concept in
