00:00hi friends welcome to the channel the nurse here we are discussing about

00:04community health nursing mcqs with the rationales so in community health nursing it is a vast subject

00:10so i have selected three topics epidemiology iec and vaccine preventable diseases so we will move

00:19to our topic before that if you are not subscribed to our channel please subscribe so we will move

00:25to our topic community health nursing mcqs with their rationales first question which of the

00:33following best describes an endemic disease a disease that occurs occasionally and it irregular

00:41intervals a disease that spreads rapidly across countries or continents a disease that is

00:48constantly presents in a particular geographic area a disease outbreak that affects a large number

00:55of people in a community suddenly so endemic disease you need to think about endemic disease

01:03so here i have given options a confusing type so if you know the definition you can easily answer here

01:09correct answer is option c a disease that is constantly present in a particular geographic area

01:18so we will see the definition an endemic disease is constantly present in a specific population or

01:24a particular region so some characteristics are there for endemic disease first one is it

01:32maintain a stable incidence over time so there will be a stable number of cases over a period of time

01:42does not require external introduction so there is no the organism will be present in that particular

01:51area there is no need for entry of external in external entry

01:58it may show seasonal variations so some rainy season it may have more numbers or some sometimes

02:04summer season may have more numbers so it will depends on seasonal and it the rate of incidence will be

02:11change for an example malaria is endemic in tropical regions with the predictable annual cases annual case

02:21numbers so for an example if number of a predictable number is increased that will change into epidemic

02:29if it is a stable number of cases means that will termed as endemic if number is increases more than

02:38that expected rate then it will go epidemic we will see in next question a sudden increase in the number of

02:47measles case in a town is an example of endemic sporadic epidemic pandemic

02:55correct answer is epidemic so we have uh uh discussed about epidemic so a sudden increase in the number of

03:08measles case in a town is an example of epidemic a constant presence means that will be endemic sudden increase in the number that will termed as epidemic

03:19we will see the definition an epidemic is a sudden rise in a cases in a particular area there are some

03:27uh key points in end epidemic it exceeds expected baseline rate for that population or that particular area

03:38often it implies communicable disease usually epidemic implies communicable disease that is cholera

03:46influenza mumps mumps movies etc so these are the epidemic disease examples that is communicable disease

03:56sometimes the epidemic become pandemic it may spread globally throughout the countries

04:05next question which of the following disease is the best example of a pandemic

04:12cholera in one village swine flu spreading globally in 2009 chicken box cases in a school

04:19a few cases of rabies in a district so here example that swine flu spreading globally in

04:292009 that is an example of pandemic disease so can you comment another example of pandemic disease

04:37that is happened in 2019 and 20. okay so a pandemic spreads across countries to countries or

04:49continents like 2009 h1n1 outbreak there is also covered 19 outbreak in 2020 it is started in

04:592019 in china that the main spread it is become pandemic that is happened in 2020

05:10worldwide spread another key feature of pandemic means there is a worldwide spread will be there

05:17and it has to be announced as pandemic by who then only it will consider consider as a pandemic disease

05:25there will be high attack rates across all the regions so pandemic cases that will spread

05:35countries to country or continents to continents there will be a worldwide spread wh wh to be declared

05:43it has it is a pandemic disease then only we can consider pandemic then the rate of attack will be

05:51very high fifth question which term describes a disease that occurs infrequently and irregularly in a

06:00population pandemic endemic epidemic sporadic so we have discussed uh pandemic endemic epidemic so you can

06:12easily answer the uh most possible answer will be sporadic so correct answer is sporadic sporadic means a

06:20disease that occurs infrequently and irregularly in a population so we cannot control and we cannot

06:29expect this num only this number of cases will be there but if the rate of incident will be varying

06:37occasional irregular occurrence of a disease with no discernible pattern or predictable frequency

06:44frequency there will be isolated cases unrelated in time or places so it may it may not depends on

07:04season or it may not depends on region wise there will be isolated cases here and there

07:11that no ongoing transmission chain so usually uh we uh the uh community health trainers or in uh the

07:22healthcare persons cannot identify the transmission chain unidentified transmission chain will be there

07:32may represent zoonotic or environmental exposures so there will be some exposure uh that possible exposure

07:41with zoonotic or environmental exposures sometimes birds or animals may spread this disease but

07:48there will not be a uh specific information regarding that exposures sporadic cases of leptospirous of course

07:57in farmers after flooding events so after the flood events there is a chance of uh leptospirosis in farmers that is a uh

08:06uh example of sporadic disease we cannot predict the number or incidence rate

08:16sixth question malaria is a con consistently present in a certain part of parts of africa this is an

08:22example of sporadic endemic epidemic pandemic

08:27so after learning this many terms so after learning this many terms so you can answer here the correct

08:34answer is endemic so consistently presence means that will uh uh leads to answer endemic there will be

08:42increase the number of incidence means epidemic sporadic means there will be occasional occurrence of disease

08:48here and there pandemic means worldwide spread

08:54endemic diseases are consistently present in a specific areas so we already learned

09:02seventh question what is the primary goal of iec strategies in community health nursing

09:07iec strategy means iec represents information education and communication

09:14in as a short form it is known as iec strategies options are to provide curative medical treatment

09:22to replace clinical healthcare services to promote health awareness and behavior change

09:28do focus only on individual patient care

09:34the main goal of iec strategy that is to promote health awareness and behavior change

09:40change so earlier the the strategy was only uh the passing of information

09:47but nowadays uh the the thing is uh the earlier strategy is changed into iec because

09:55there should be a behavior changes also should happens after the uh information after passing the

10:02information so that is a main focus of the iec strategy to promote health awareness and behavior change

10:10the main objective of iec or information education communication is to educate communities raise awareness

10:22and encourage positive health behaviors rather than just providing a treatment or information

10:32which of the following is an example of an interpersonal communication method in

10:37iec iec radio advertisement health posters door-to-door counseling by nurses social media campaigns

10:47so here the key point keyword is interpersonal communication so correct answer here door-to-door

10:55counseling by nurses is a interpersonal communication method in iec there is another method also

11:02so interpersonal communication involves direct interaction then door-to-door visit means there will be a direct

11:10interactions or other example is counseling during counseling there will be a direct interaction

11:17so these are the interpersonal communications ex in iec strategies while mass media like radio

11:24posters social media is a non-personal communication

11:28so i think it is clear we will move to next question which factor is most important for effective iec material

11:38design use of complex medical terminology cultural relevance and simplicity high printing cost availability in only one language

11:48correct answer is option b cultural relevance and simplicity

11:59iec materials must be culturally appropriate symbol and in local language to ensure community understanding and engagement

12:07so we we need to plan according to the uh uh the in knowledge level of community we need to plan

12:17and we need to provide information in their local languages it should be simple and culturally appropriate

12:25so what are the cultural uh practices we should know then only we need to plan

12:31so it should be culturally appropriate symbol and local in local language

12:3910th question in community health programs iec is essential for only treating infectious diseases

12:46strengthening preventive health care replacing doctors in rural areas reducing the need for vaccination

12:54correct answer here strengthening preventive health care

12:58in community health program iec essential for strengthening preventive health care

13:04iec primarily focuses on preventive health care that is uh hygiene family planning immunization

13:11awareness etc rather than just a treatment

13:1811th question which of the following diseases diseases is not typically prevented by routine childhood

13:25vaccination vaccination measles polio malaria hepatitis b so correct answer is malaria so malaria is prevented

13:37primarily through vector controls that is mosquito nights in insects insecticides etc and anti-malarial drugs are

13:44available uh usually there is no uh proper vaccine for malaria but uh some uh uh medicines can be

13:54temporarily temporarily prevent this malaria through an experimental uh that is what experimental

14:01malaria vaccine still exits but it is it will not provide a permanent uh immunization against malaria

14:11measles polio hepatitis b are part of standard immunization schedule

14:16example mmr opv ipv or hepatitis b vaccines

14:19the mmr vaccine protects against all except easy question mumps measles rubella rotavirus

14:32so if you understand the full form of mmr is you can easily answer here so correct answer is rotavirus

14:40mmr means it will protect against mumps measles and rubella

14:46the mmr the mmr vaccine covers measles mumps and rubella rotavirus is a separate vaccine given orally

14:55to prevent diarrheal disease but it is not included in immunization schedule in most of the countries

15:02but in some countries it it it will give us a part of routine immunization

15:08which vaccine preventable disease can cause lock joe due to toxin induced muscle spasm

15:20pertussis tetanus diphtheria influence influenza so lock joe is a characteristic characteristic feature of

15:31tetanus in tetanus that is caused by claustridium tetanus it leads to trismus

15:38or other name lock joe and there will be a severe muscle rigidity

15:46the dtap or tdap vaccine includes tetanus toxoid flow prevention

15:52so dtap that is a common dtp vaccine or dpt vaccine so that is given during our immunization schedule and

16:02after at the age of 9 or 10 there will be a booster dose with the tdap vaccines

16:10so that will give a longer period of immunity against tetanus

16:15herd immunity is most effective for which type of disease non-communicable example diabetes highly

16:26contagious example measles genetic disorders example sickle cell anemia autoimmune conditions

16:32example lupus erythematosus

16:38correct answer highly contagious disease so herd immunity means there will be an immunity of

16:45immunity against a particular communicable disease in that particular region most of the people they

16:52got immunity against that particular disease either due to mass vaccination or due to some attack of

17:00that particular infection then later they will get immunity

17:05herd immunity or it is also known as population immunity so which immunity is known as population

17:14immunity herd immunity it occurs when a large population of a community becomes immune to a

17:21disease that may be through vaccination or prior infection

17:26it indirectly protecting unprotected individuals by interrupting transmission chains so there will be a

17:35major people the majority of people the has have that immunity so unprotected in individuals those

17:44who are not having that immunity will not get it from that particular area if they are going outside

17:52from that particular area they may expose that infection and they may get but during the

18:00area or their range they will not exposed to that kind of communicable disease

18:11herd immunity works best for contagious disease examples measles or polio by reducing the transmission

18:18when most of the population is vaccinated or exposed to prior infection non-communicable diseases are not

18:26spread person to person that is why it is known as non-communicable disease

18:3315th question why is the bcg vaccine given at birth in tb endemic countries to prevent pulmonary tb in adults

18:42to reduce severe childhood tb to replace antibiotic treatment for tb to cure

18:48latent latent tb infection so correct answer is to reduce severe childhood tb a bcg vaccine will not

18:57prevent tb at later stage of life usually it is used to prevent the severe childhood tb also tubercular meningitis

19:10the bcg vaccine is most effective against severe pediatric t tuberculosis example

19:15miliary tb or tubercular meningitis or tbm it has limited efficacy against adult pulmonary tb so it is

19:27usually effective in childhood time and it has limited efficacy against adult pulmonary tb so what is

19:36miliary tb can you explain here so you can comment it below so i will explain briefly

19:43miliary tb is a disseminated form of tuberculosis disseminated means spreading everywhere characterized

19:51by widespread hematogenous spread hematogenous spread means spread through blood of mycobacterium

19:58tuberculosis mycobacterium tuberculosis is the organism causing tuberculosis

20:04leading leading to tiny millet sized lesions so the miliary tb that mycobacterium tuberculosis spread all

20:14over the body and it will leads to millet seed sized lesions in multiple organs that is lungs liver spleen

20:23brain etc so that is miliary tb so that is about today's video so thank you for watching this video

20:32please like and share with your friends and don't forget to subscribe our channel the nurse thank you

20:39and also if you have any doubt means you can ask in comment section thank you we will make another
