Rationale: The concept of health equity refers to eliminating health disparities among different population groups. This means ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible, regardless of social determinants such as race, ethnicity, income, or geographic location.
Choice A is incorrect because health equity goes beyond just access to healthcare and focuses on achieving health equality.
Choice B is incorrect as health equity considers individual needs rather than providing the same treatments to everyone.
Choice D is incorrect as health equity aims to address disparities and inequalities, not just focus on the healthcare needs of the wealthy.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate action for the nurse is to allow the client the time needed to dress. Patients with Parkinson's disease may experience difficulties with activities of daily living due to their condition. Allowing the client sufficient time to dress promotes independence and dignity, which are essential aspects of patient-centered care. Asking family members to dress the client may undermine the client's autonomy and self-esteem. Encouraging the client to dress more quickly may lead to frustration and feelings of inadequacy. Demonstrating methods on how to dress more quickly may not address the underlying challenges the client faces and could be perceived as insensitive or dismissive of the client's needs.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Community health nurses are less likely to be involved in a physician's office with a focus on individual client care because their role primarily revolves around promoting and maintaining the health of populations and communities rather than providing direct care to individual clients. Options A, C, and D are more aligned with the community health nurse's role as they involve working in community-based settings, providing home-based care, and participating in community planning and advocacy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, slow, irregular respirations. In an acutely ill child, this assessment can indicate impending respiratory failure or neurological compromise, necessitating immediate intervention. Rapid bounding pulse (choice
A) may indicate tachycardia but is not as immediately concerning as compromised respirations. A temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius (choice
B) is elevated but may not be the most urgent concern unless accompanied by other symptoms. Profuse diaphoresis (choice
C) can indicate increased sympathetic activity but is not as critical as respiratory compromise.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Vaginal bleeding immediately after birth is most often due to uterine atony, which is the failure of the uterus to contract following delivery. This results in inadequate compression of blood vessels at the placental site, leading to hemorrhage. Genital lacerations and abnormal clotting mechanisms can also cause bleeding but are less common immediately after birth compared to uterine atony. Endometritis, inflammation of the lining of the uterus, usually presents with symptoms like fever and pelvic pain rather than immediate postpartum bleeding.
