Question 1

Which of the following is a benefit of primary health care reform for health care professionals?&#10;A) Increased salary&#10;B) More diverse work experience&#10;C) A supportive team environment&#10;D) Reduced work stress

Accepted Answer

Primary health care reform often involves the implementation of team-based care, which can provide a supportive environment for health care professionals to work in. However, there is no guarantee of increased salary, more diverse work experience, or reduced work stress as a result of primary health care reform.

Question 2

Which of the following two professions are regulated in every province and territory in Canada?&#10;A) Nurse practitioner and reflexology&#10;B) Pharmacy and registered nursing&#10;C) General medicine and massage therapy&#10;D) General medicine and aromatherapy

Accepted Answer

Pharmacy and registered nursing are two professions that are regulated in every province and territory in Canada. This means that individuals who wish to practice as a pharmacist or registered nurse must meet specific educational and licensing requirements in each province and territory in which they want to work. This helps to ensure that these professions uphold high standards of practice and patient safety across the country.

Question 3

Which of the following is a benefit of primary health care reform for clients?&#10;A) Access to the same physician for every appointment&#10;B) Access to a multidisciplinary team of health care specialists&#10;C) Access to free medications&#10;D) Access to immediate radiological tests

Accepted Answer

Access to a multidisciplinary team of health care specialists would provide clients with a range of expertise and support for their health needs. While access to the same physician for every appointment may provide continuity of care, it may not necessarily address all of a client's health care needs. Access to free medications and immediate radiological tests would be beneficial, but they are not necessarily related to primary health care reform.

Question 4

Which population group would not benefit from rostering?&#10;A) Older adult clients&#10;B) College students&#10;C) Prenatal mothers&#10;D) Pediatric clients

Accepted Answer

College students are typically more flexible and autonomous in managing their schedules compared to the other groups listed, making rostering less beneficial for them. Rostering is more advantageous for populations with specific, recurring needs or less flexibility, such as older adults, prenatal mothers, and pediatric clients.

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of an allied health professional?&#10;A) Optometrist&#10;B) Physicians&#10;C) Nurses&#10;D) Psychiatrists

Accepted Answer

An optometrist is an example of an allied health professional. Allied health professionals are healthcare professionals who are not doctors, dentists, or nurses, but who provide essential healthcare services. Optometrists are healthcare professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating visual problems and managing eye diseases.

Question 6

Which of the following is an example of an alternative health care practitioner?&#10;A) Physician&#10;B) Aromatherapist&#10;C) Nurse&#10;D) Occupational therapist

Accepted Answer

An aromatherapist is an example of an alternative health care practitioner, as they use essential oils and plant extracts to promote overall health and well-being. Physicians, nurses, and occupational therapists are all more traditional health care practitioners.

What is the primary condition imposed on physicians who work in a primary health care group?&#10;A) They must be willing to work on weekends.&#10;B) They must be prepared to care for a specific number of older adult clients.&#10;C) They must be prepared to care for a specific number of families.&#10;D) They must agree to practice under specific guidelines to deliver primary care to a population base.

Accepted Answer

The primary condition imposed on physicians who work in a primary health care group is that they must agree to practice under specific guidelines to deliver primary care to a population base. This is essential for maintaining the quality of care and consistency of services provided. Options A and B are not universally applicable to all primary health care groups, while option C is too vague and not specific enough.

Accepted Answer

"Evidence-informed" refers to interventions or practices that have been proven effective through high-quality scientific studies. The other options (A, B, and C) do not accurately define evidence-informed.

Question 10

What is meant by a controlled act?&#10;A) It is a potentially harmful act that must be performed only by trained members of a particular profession.&#10;B) It is an act that must be performed in controlled circumstances.&#10;C) It is an act that is potentially harmless and can be performed by any health care professional.&#10;D) It is an act that is performed with a client's consent.

Accepted Answer

A controlled act refers to a specific list of potentially harmful acts that are restricted to be performed only by trained and authorized health care professionals, such as physicians, dentists, and nurses, with specific knowledge and skills. These acts are typically invasive, carry a high risk of causing harm, and require advanced training, knowledge, and judgment for safe and effective performance. Examples of controlled acts include administering medication via injection, performing surgery, and diagnosing a disease.
