Community Based Assessment Checklist (CBAC) for early detection of non-communicable diseases is to be filled by

Appeared in: ESIC Nursing Officer-7July 2024

Explanation

  • CBAC is a community-level tool for early detection of NCD risk factors.
  • ASHAs are responsible for filling the CBAC during home visits.
  • ASHAs identify at-risk individuals and refer them for further screening.
  • This ensures early intervention and reduces NCD complications.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: Medical Officers confirm diagnoses and manage treatment at health facilities, not community screening.
  • Option B: Staff Nurses perform clinical screening at facilities, not the initial CBAC assessment in the community.
  • Option C: ANMs supervise ASHAs and conduct facility-based screening, not the initial CBAC during home visits.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: Use the key finding related to Role of ASHA in community-based NCD screening using CBAC to guide bedside assessment, documentation, and the next nursing action.
  • Early detection by ASHA reduces NCD complications and improves outcomes.
  • Nurses and ANMs ensure continuity of care after initial screening.
  • What if? If ASHA does not fill CBAC, at-risk individuals may remain undetected, increasing disease burden.
How to Approach the Question
  • Identify the tool (CBAC) and its purpose (community-based NCD screening).
  • Recall which health worker is responsible for home visits (ASHA).
  • Differentiate between community-level and facility-level roles.
  • Eliminate options based on setting and responsibility.
  • Use knowledge of NPCDCS workflow to confirm the answer.
