Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

STTI global health initiatives include: Global Advisory Panel on the Future of Nursing; Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform; Global Standards for the Initial Education of Professional Nurses and Midwives; and Essential Nursing Competencies and Curricula Guidelines for Genetics and Genomics. Disaster preparedness and response is a global health initiative for the American Nurses Association.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Uninsured Americans access health services if they can pay for them, if they are sick enough to be admitted to the emergency department of a public hospital, or through a national insurance model (Medicaid) if they are extremely impoverished. Since the individual came through the emergency department of a community hospital the nurse should provide care. Asking for proof of insurance or name of last employer is not appropriate since the individual is homeless. Sending to the nearest Medicaid office would be inappropriate because the individual is in need of health care now.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
