Community Health Nursing Chapter 28 MC
Exam Questions With Correct Answers
An instructor reviews the definition of homelessness according to the McKinney Vento Homeless
Assistance Act with a group
1. of community health nursing students. The instructor determines that the students need clarification
when they include which of the following as homeless?
A)
Someone living in a public shelter
B)
Someone living in a park
C)
Someone who is incarcerated
D)
Someone who lives in his or her car - answer✔C
Feedback:
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Title 42 of the U.S. Code) defines a person as homeless
who lacks a fixed, regular, adequate night time residence including supervised public or private shelters
that provide temporary accommodations, institutional settings providing temporary shelter, or public or
private places that are not designed for or used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings
(i.e., cars, parks, camp grounds). Incarcerated individuals, however, are not considered homeless under
this definition.
When addressing homeless children and youth, which of the following situations are also considered
homeless according to the education subtitle of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act? Select all
that apply.
Children who share housing with others due to economic hardship or loss of housing
B)
Children who are abandoned in hospitals
C)
Children who are awaiting placement in foster care
D)
Children who are living in motels, trailer parks, or camping grounds
E)
Children who are living apart from one or more of their parents - answer✔ABCD
Feedback:
The education subtitle of the McKinney- Vento Homeless Assistance Act expands on the definition of
homelessness when addressing homeless children and youth. The act includes as homeless those
children who share housing with others due to economic hardship or loss of housing, are abandoned in
hospitals, are awaiting placement in foster care, or are living in motels, trailer parks, or camping
grounds. Children who are living apart from one or more of their parents may not be homeless.
Which of the following would likely provide the best estimate of the number of persons who are
homeless?
A)
Counting the number of homeless people on a particular day
B)
Counting the persons who are homeless in a given week
C)
Counting the number of persons who are homeless at a specific time on a specific date
D)
The number of people who have been homeless over the course of a year - answer✔D
Feedback:
Rather than trying to count the number of homeless people on a given day or week (point in time
counts), it may be more prudent to measure the number of people who have been homeless over a
longer timeframe such as over the course of a year (period prevalence counts).
