Question 1 of 5
a nurse is caring for a client who is homeless. which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: discuss the risks of being homeless with the client. This is the first action the nurse should take because it addresses the immediate health and safety concerns of the client.

Therefore, option C is the most appropriate initial action to ensure the client's immediate well-being.
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.
