Community Health HESI Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
In 1996, there were 15 cases of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) in Barangay B, while Barangay C had 20 cases. The total number of children who have ARI is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'higher in Barangay C than in Barangay B.' This is because Barangay C had more cases of ARI (20) compared to Barangay B (15).
Therefore, the total number of children who have ARI is higher in Barangay C.
Choices B and C are incorrect because the data clearly shows that Barangay C had more cases than Barangay B.
Choice D is also incorrect as there is sufficient data provided to compare the number of ARI cases between the two barangays.
Question 2 of 5
Which of these statements by the nurse is incorrect to use to reinforce information about cancers to a group of young adults?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The corrected statement in choice A emphasizes limiting red meat for the prevention of stomach cancer, which is more accurate than avoiding all meats. By focusing on red meat specifically, it provides clearer guidance to young adults.
Choice B is not the correct answer as it provides accurate information about prostate cancer being the most common cancer in American men and its impact on sexuality and life quality.
Choice C is also a valid statement, correctly highlighting colorectal cancer as the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.
Choice D provides accurate information about lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and emphasizes its preventability among cancers, making it a valid statement for reinforcing information about cancers to young adults.
Question 3 of 5
The client with Parkinson's disease spends over 1 hour to dress for scheduled therapies. What is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take in this situation?
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.
Question 4 of 5
You assisted the midwife in formulating the objectives of the plan of care for Barangay Mabulaklak. Which of the following is a well-stated objective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A specific, measurable objective like reducing the number of underweight children by 10% is well-stated. This objective is clear, quantifiable, and time-bound, making it easier to track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.
Choices A, B, and C are not as well-stated as they lack specificity, measurability, and a quantifiable target.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a child with cystic fibrosis. The nurse would anticipate that the child would be deficient in which vitamins?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Children with cystic fibrosis often have difficulty absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, and K) due to pancreatic insufficiency, making supplementation necessary.
Choice A (B, D, and K) is incorrect because vitamin A deficiency is not commonly associated with cystic fibrosis.
Choice C (A, C, and
D) is incorrect as vitamin C deficiency is not typically related to cystic fibrosis.
Choice D (A, B, and
C) is incorrect as vitamin B deficiencies are not commonly seen in cystic fibrosis but rather fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies.
