Question 3 of 5

Collaborating with other disciplines ensures a comprehensive approach to patient care. 4. The nurse can still practice holistically while working with other professionals to address all aspects of the patient's needs.

Question 4 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) is demonstrating the use of a peak flow meter to help children with chronic asthma recognize when they need to use a rescue inhaler. What is the level of prevention represented by this activity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Secondary prevention. This activity falls under secondary prevention because it aims to detect and manage asthma exacerbations early on, reducing the severity of the condition and preventing complications. It focuses on early intervention and management to prevent further deterioration in children with chronic asthma. A: Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of asthma in the first place, such as through education on asthma triggers and avoidance strategies. C: Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and improving quality of life for individuals with established asthma through measures like pulmonary rehabilitation and support services. D: This option is incorrect because the activity specifically targets early detection and management of asthma exacerbations, aligning it with the goals of secondary prevention only.
Question 5 of 5
An employee in a laboratory drops a flask, resulting in the chemical splashing into her eyes. What is the agent in this scenario?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chemical. In this scenario, the chemical is the agent causing harm by splashing into the employee's eyes. The chemical is the direct cause of the injury. The employee is the recipient of the harm, not the agent. The flask and the laboratory are simply the environment or tools involved in the incident and are not actively causing harm. Therefore, the correct identification of the agent is the chemical that splashed into the employee's eyes.
