Healthy People 2030 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A female client develops a vaginal yeast infection after a course of antibiotics for strep throat. Which component of the epidemiological triangle is primary responsible?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Agent. Antibiotics are the agent responsible for disrupting the normal vaginal flora, leading to the overgrowth of yeast causing the infection. The host (female client) is susceptible due to the altered microbial balance. The environment (vaginal environment) plays a secondary role. Antibiotics are not the primary cause but rather the factor that disrupts the balance, making choice D incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
Which best describes why clinical areas are so careful to insure sanitation of surfaces and equipment between each client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: To decrease transmission by fomites (utensils, countertops, etc). Sanitizing surfaces and equipment between clients helps prevent the spread of pathogens through contaminated objects (fomites). This practice is crucial in clinical settings to reduce the risk of infections. Choice A is incorrect as clinical areas do sanitize surfaces. Choice C is irrelevant as the primary goal is not to maintain a lovely environment but to ensure health and safety. Choice D is too vague and does not explain the specific reason for sanitation in clinical areas.
Question 3 of 5
During an outbreak in a community, all hospital staff members were given immunoglobulin if
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Passive Immunity. When hospital staff members are given immunoglobulin during an outbreak, they are receiving pre-formed antibodies from an external source, providing immediate protection. This is a form of passive immunity, where immunity is transferred without the individual's immune system needing to produce antibodies. Acquired Immunity (C) refers to immunity developed by the body after exposure to an antigen, which is not the case here as the staff is receiving pre-formed antibodies. Passive Acquired Immunity (D) is not a recognized term in immunology, and Choice A is simply a restatement of the question without providing a specific answer.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement by a caregiver of a child shows the nurse an understanding of vaccine safety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates an understanding of vaccine safety by acknowledging the low probability of severe reactions. This statement shows the caregiver has knowledge of the rarity of adverse events following vaccination, indicating a balanced perspective on the risks and benefits. A: Incorrect. This choice reflects a decision not to vaccinate without mentioning safety awareness. B: Incorrect. This choice indicates a general disagreement with vaccines but doesn't address safety understanding. D: Incorrect. This choice lacks any information related to vaccine safety or understanding of risks.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following nursing interventions would have most likely been used by Florence nightingale when treating wounded soldiers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Florence Nightingale, a pioneer in nursing, emphasized the importance of improving food, clothing, and cleanliness to promote healing in wounded soldiers. This intervention focuses on creating a hygienic environment to prevent infections, providing nutritious food to aid recovery, and ensuring patients are well-clothed for comfort. Blood transfusions and IV drips were not common practices during Nightingale's time. Early discharge from the hospital would not align with her emphasis on proper care and recovery. Thus, choice A is the most appropriate intervention based on Nightingale's principles.
