Question 1

Case 1 A nurse is working for a non-profit health agency in Afghanistan.
(Refer to Case 1 above. )The nurse is working with a multidisciplinary team on the World Health Organization's (WHO)Millennium Development Goals (MDG).What goal will be particularly difficult to achieve in the context of this country?

A) Improved communication
B) Recruitment of qualified nurses
C) Gender equality
D) Environmental sustainability

Gender equality

Accepted Answer

Gender equality will be particularly difficult to achieve in Afghanistan due to the country's conservative cultural and societal norms, which limit opportunities and rights for women. This is a significant barrier to achieving the MDG of gender equality, which aims to empower women and girls to have equal rights, access to education, and economic opportunities.

Question 2

Case 2 A group of nurses from Alberta are doing research on the effects of the 2010 tsunami in Indonesia.
(Refer to Case 2 above. )What agency is likely to fund the nurses' tsunami research?

A) Global Health Cooperative (GHC)
B) Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR)
C) Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
D) U.S.Department of Health and Human Services

Accepted Answer

The Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) is the best choice to fund the nurses' tsunami research since it is a national funding agency that provides support for health research in Canada. CIDA primarily focuses on international development projects, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is unlikely to fund research conducted by Canadian nurses. GHC is not a known funding agency for health research.

Question 3

Case 2 A group of nurses from Alberta are doing research on the effects of the 2010 tsunami in Indonesia.
(Refer to Case 2 above. )The nurse researchers are concerned about the potential exploitation of the study participants while obtaining informed consent.What strategy would be best at addressing potential exploitation?

A) Have the research proposal approved by an in-country ethics committee
B) Review and renew consent prior to each interaction
C) Make sure that research outcomes are shared with the Indonesian community
D) Tie research to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)

Accepted Answer

Review and renew consent prior to each interaction

Question 4

What term best describes the statement &#34;a constellation of processes by which nations,businesses,and people are becoming more connected and interdependent via increased economic integration,communication exchange,and cultural diffusion&#34;?&#10;A) World health&#10;B) Globalization&#10;C) World trade&#10;D) Global village

Accepted Answer

The term that best describes the statement is globalization, as it refers to the increasing interconnectedness of the world through economic, social, and cultural means. The other options listed (world health, world trade, global village) are related to globalization but do not fully encompass the concept.

Question 5

Case 1 A nurse is working for a non-profit health agency in Afghanistan.
(Refer to Case 1 above. )What is a significant challenge for majority countries like Afghanistan in achieving "Health for All" as a result of globalization?

A) Partnerships with the West
B) Nurse migration
C) Use of traditional healers
D) Attaining peace

Accepted Answer

One of the significant challenges for majority countries like Afghanistan in achieving "Health for All" as a result of globalization is nurse migration. Health care workers, including nurses, tend to migrate to more developed countries with better pay, working conditions, and opportunities for professional growth, which hinders the provision of essential health services in low-income countries. This brain drain exacerbates the already limited workforce in these countries and affects the quality and accessibility of healthcare services.

Question 6

What country would be classified as a &#34;majority&#34; world?&#10;A) Africa&#10;B) Canada&#10;C) Switzerland&#10;D) Australia

Accepted Answer

A "majority world" country is one with a majority non-white population that has historically experienced colonization and imperialism. While Canada, Switzerland, and Australia may have diverse populations, they do not fit the characteristics of a "majority world" country. Africa, on the other hand, has a long history of colonialism and imperialism, and the majority of its population is non-white.

Question 7

What is the identified percentage gap between research funding and the investigation done on health problems affecting the world's population?&#10;A) 40/60&#10;B) 30/70&#10;C) 10/90&#10;D) 20/80

Accepted Answer

The identified percentage gap between research funding and the investigation done on health problems affecting the world's population is often referred to as the "10/90 gap," where only 10% of health research funding is directed towards problems that affect 90% of the world's population.

Question 8

Case 2 A group of nurses from Alberta are doing research on the effects of the 2010 tsunami in Indonesia.
(Refer to Case 2 above. )The nurses are conscious of the principle of introspection.Which question would best help the research team to consider this principle?

A) What is the motivation for doing this global health research?
B) How will the indigenous views of health be included in this research?
C) What sources of funding are available?
D) Which methodology would be appropriate for this research study?

Accepted Answer

Introspection involves examining one's own thoughts and motivations. Question A directly addresses the motivation behind conducting the research, aligning with the principle of introspection.

Question 9

Case 1 A nurse is working for a non-profit health agency in Afghanistan.
(Refer to Case 1 above. )What is the most pressing social determinant of health in a majority world country like Afghanistan?

A) Low education levels
B) Food insecurity
C) Poverty
D) Instability

Accepted Answer

Poverty is often the most pressing social determinant of health in majority world countries like Afghanistan, as it affects access to education, food, healthcare, and contributes to instability.

Question 10

Case 2 A group of nurses from Alberta are doing research on the effects of the 2010 tsunami in Indonesia.
(Refer to Case 2 above. )The nurses want to make sure their research is consistent with the principle of solidarity.What initiative would support this principle?

A) Invite a nurse from Indonesia to be a part of the research team
B) Vent the research proposal through an ethics committee
C) Seek direction from the host country in the development of the survey questions
D) Familiarize the research team with the political and human rights issues of Indonesia

Accepted Answer

Inviting a nurse from Indonesia to be part of the research team supports the principle of solidarity by ensuring local involvement and collaboration.
