MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What is the fastest growing component of the health care system?
a. Primary care.
b. Respite care.
c. Home care.
d. Palliative care.
ANS: C
Canadian health care is shifting from an institution-based system to one in which community
care is playing a greater role. Home care is one of the fastest growing components of the
health care system, partly because patients are sent home from hospital sooner than they used
to be. Primary care, respite care, and palliative care are not the fastest growing components of
the health care system.

2. Which of the following is a contributing factor to the shortage of nurses in Canada?

natural and alternative therapies.
d. Retirement of a large percentage of nurses.
ANS: D
The nursing workforce is currently challenged by the aging of workers, high retirement rates,
ethical problems in international recruitment, and lack of full-time positions. The average age
of RNs in Canada is 44.6 years; for LPNs, it is 41, and for RPNs, it is 46. The aging
population is creating the greater demand for nursing services. Neither the replacement of
nurses at the bedside by new technology nor the focus of health trends on natural and
alternative therapies is a factor identified as contributing to the shortage of nurses.

, Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing 6th Edition Potter Test Bank
Treaty 6 was often referred to as the “medicine chest” clause, as it included a provision for
health care services to be provided to Indigenous communities. The Indian Act, the Indian
band agreements (signed with the British government before Confederation), and relationship
agreements do not refer to Treaty 6.

a. An immunization clinic.
b. A diabetic support group.
c. A prenatal nutrition class.
d. A smoking cessation clinic.
ANS: C
Community clinics offer prenatal nutrition classes that promote the health of the woman,
fetus, and infant. Building healthy public policy, creating supportive environments,
strengthening community action, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services
are part of health promotion service. An immunization clinic is an example of disease and
injury prevention. A diabetic support group may be an example of a rehabilitation service, to
help patients adapt to a change in lifestyle. A smoking cessation clinic may be offered as part
of a rehabilitation service or as a disease and injury prevention intervention.
