Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is helping to reinforce teaching about hepatitis A with a group of employees at a childcare facility. Which of the following characteristics should the nurse identify as an external factor that can impede learning for the participants?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Poor lighting.' External factors such as lighting can significantly impact the learning environment, making it difficult for participants to engage effectively. Poor lighting can strain the eyes, cause discomfort, and lead to decreased concentration. Choices A, B, and D are internal factors or issues that are not directly related to the learning environment. High workload, limited knowledge on the subject, and limited space in the learning area may affect learning differently but do not impede learning through external factors like poor lighting does.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with an in-service about hepatitis A for a group of staff nurses. The nurse should include that hepatitis A is transmitted through which of the following methods?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Consumption of contaminated food. Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Airborne droplets and sexual contact are not common modes of transmission for hepatitis A. While contact with contaminated surfaces can play a role in the spread of some infections, hepatitis A is not typically transmitted through this route.
Question 3 of 5
A client has expressive aphasia following a stroke. Which of the following methods should be used when communicating with the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When communicating with a client who has expressive aphasia, using a picture board is an effective method as it provides an alternative means of communication. Option A, speaking slowly, may not improve understanding for someone with expressive aphasia. Option B, providing written instructions, may also be challenging for individuals with this condition. Option D, writing on a whiteboard, may not be as helpful as using a picture board in facilitating communication for a client with expressive aphasia.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who is receiving IV fluids for dehydration. Which of the following should the nurse recognize as a positive response to the therapy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased urine output is a positive sign that the IV fluids are effectively treating dehydration. Tachycardia (choice A) and hypotension (choice B) are signs of dehydration and would not be considered positive responses to therapy. Diarrhea (choice D) can worsen dehydration and is not a positive response to IV fluid therapy.
Question 5 of 5
When collecting data from a client with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct manifestation to expect when collecting data from a client with PTSD is hypervigilance. Hypervigilance refers to increased alertness, which is a common symptom of PTSD. This heightened state of awareness is characterized by an exaggerated startle response, being easily startled, and constantly scanning the environment for potential threats. Amnesia (choice A) is not typically a primary manifestation of PTSD; it is more commonly associated with dissociative disorders. Hallucinations (choice C) involve perceiving things that are not present and are not typically a hallmark symptom of PTSD. Severe agitation (choice D) may occur in individuals with PTSD, but hypervigilance is a more specific and common manifestation associated with this disorder.
