HESI Community Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning a community health fair to promote cancer awareness. Which activity should be included to best engage participants?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Offering free cancer screenings provides participants with immediate, valuable information about their cancer risk.

Question 2 of 5

A client with a history of hypertension is admitted with acute renal failure. Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Urine output of 50 mL in 4 hours indicates oliguria, which can be a sign of worsening renal function and requires immediate intervention. In acute renal failure, maintaining adequate urine output is crucial to prevent further kidney damage and manage fluid balance. A high blood pressure reading (Option A) is concerning but may not require immediate intervention in this scenario as it could be due to the history of hypertension. A heart rate of 100 beats per minute (Option C) is slightly elevated but may not be the most critical finding at this moment. Nausea and vomiting (Option D) are important to assess but are not as urgent as addressing oliguria in a client with acute renal failure.

Question 3 of 5

A client with chronic kidney disease is experiencing pruritus. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Rationale: Antihistamines help reduce pruritus by blocking histamine receptors and are often prescribed for clients with chronic kidney disease experiencing pruritus.
