Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is providing education on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to a group of clients who are pregnant when discussing risk factors, which of the following ethnicities should the nurse identify as having the lowest incidence of GDM?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Non-Hispanic White Americans have been reported to have the lowest incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to other ethnicities. Studies have shown that Asian, Hispanic, and African American populations have higher rates of developing GDM during pregnancy. This may be due to genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and varying degrees of insulin resistance among different ethnic groups. Therefore, when discussing risk factors for GDM, the community health nurse should identify Non-Hispanic White Americans as having the lowest incidence of GDM.
Question 2 of 5
Which health concern is most likely to be an issue for the older mother?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: As women age, their nutritional needs may change, and they may require more specific nutrients to support their health. Older mothers may be more susceptible to health concerns related to inadequate nutrition and diet planning, such as osteoporosis or heart disease. Proper nutrition is essential for both the mother's well-being and the health of her child. Therefore, nutrition and diet planning are more likely to be an issue for an older mother compared to exercise, rest, or contraceptive methods, especially during pregnancy and postpartum periods.

Rationale: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. HPV infection, especially high-risk types such as HPV-16, is strongly associated with cervical cancer. Therefore, a client who is positive for HPV type 16 on an HPV screen is at the highest risk for developing cervical cancer among the given choices.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The lowest risk for sexually transmitted pelvic inflammatory disease is associated with using a barrier method of contraception, such as condoms. Barrier methods create a physical barrier that helps prevent the exchange of bodily fluids, reducing the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections, including pelvic inflammatory disease. Oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, and birth control patches do not provide the same level of protection against sexually transmitted infections as barrier methods like condoms.
