Extract:
Question 1 of 5
nurse expect
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: diplopia. Nurses expect diplopia in a patient as it can indicate a serious neurological issue or cranial nerve dysfunction. Oliguria (
A) refers to decreased urine output, not typically associated with nursing expectations. Hypoglycemia (
C) is a metabolic condition, not typically anticipated by nurses. Dizziness (
D) can have various causes and is not specific enough to be expected by a nurse.
Question 2 of 5
a community health clinic nurse manager is reviewing the incidence rate of chlamydia in the state. in a given year, 3144 new cases were reported and the population was estimated at 325,986. which of the following is the incidence rate in the state for the year?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: about 10 reported cases per 1000 population.
To calculate the incidence rate, you divide the number of new cases (3144) by the total population (325,986) and then multiply by 1000 to get the rate per 1000 population. So, (3144/325,986)*1000 ≈ 9.64, which rounds up to 10.
Choice A is incorrect as it overestimates the incidence rate.
Choice B is incorrect as it underestimates the rate.
Choice D is incorrect as it also underestimates the rate.
Question 3 of 5
a home health nurse is visiting a client who had a stroke 2 months ago. which of the following findings should the nurse report to the interprofessional care team?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it indicates the caregiver's involvement in medication management, which is crucial for a client post-stroke. The nurse should report this to ensure medication adherence and safety.
Choice A is not concerning as it shows the client's independence in dressing.
Choice B could be a normal weight-bearing technique with crutches.
Choice C may indicate dysphagia, which is important but not as immediate as medication management.
Question 4 of 5
In the last month three cases of tuberculosis have been referred to the health department. Which of the following is the priority information for the community health nurse to obtain from each client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Household members. This is the priority information because tuberculosis is highly contagious and spreads through close contact. By obtaining information on household members, the nurse can assess the risk of transmission within the household and take appropriate measures to prevent further spread of the disease. Demographics (
A) may provide general information but do not directly impact the spread of tuberculosis. Occupation (
C) may be relevant for identifying potential exposure sources but household contacts are more immediate. Health history (
D) is important but does not address the immediate risk of transmission within the household.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working to reduce individual and family violence in the local community. Which of the following actions by the nurse demonstrates a primary prevention strategy to achieve this goal?
Correct Answer: C

Primary prevention aims to prevent violence before it occurs by promoting healthy behaviors and addressing risk factors. Teaching parenting techniques to new parents helps build strong family relationships, enhances parenting skills, and reduces the likelihood of violence.
Choices A, B, and D are not primary prevention strategies. Counseling for at-risk parents (
A) is a secondary prevention strategy aimed at early detection and intervention. Assessing a family for marital discord (
B) is a tertiary prevention strategy focused on addressing existing issues. Providing treatment for substance use disorder (
D) is also a tertiary prevention strategy aimed at treating an existing condition.
