Healthy People 2030 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing education about communicable diseases. During which of the following status is the period in which a disease is contagious?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Communicability period. This is the period during which a disease can be transmitted from an infected person to others. The incubation period (A) is the time between exposure to the pathogen and the onset of symptoms. Vector (C) refers to an organism that carries and transmits the disease but does not determine the contagious period. Immune duration (D) is the length of time a person is protected from the disease after being exposed or vaccinated and does not relate to the contagiousness of the disease.
Question 2 of 5
Which action by the community health nurse working at a Kaiser Permanente clinic would best represent secondary prevention
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because vision screening for school-age children falls under secondary prevention. This action aims to detect vision problems early in children who may not show symptoms, preventing further complications. It focuses on early detection and intervention to reduce the impact of vision issues. Choice B (Hearing test for adults) would fall under tertiary prevention as it aims to manage and treat existing hearing problems. Choice C (Blood pressure reading for children) would fall under primary prevention as it aims to prevent the development of high blood pressure through early detection and lifestyle interventions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a community clinic is assessing an older client for manifestations of dehydration. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Furrows in the tongue. Dehydration can lead to dry mouth and decreased saliva production, causing the tongue to develop furrows. Edema (A) is a sign of fluid retention, opposite of dehydration. Bounding pulses (C) are associated with fluid overload, not dehydration. Healthy skin (D) is a general indicator of good overall health and does not specifically point to dehydration. In summary, furrows in the tongue are a direct manifestation of dehydration, while the other choices are more indicative of fluid overload or general health status.
Question 4 of 5
Which nurse most likely kept records on sanitation techniques and the effects on health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Florence Nightingale is the correct answer because she is widely recognized as the pioneer of modern nursing and a prominent advocate for sanitation practices. She implemented meticulous record-keeping on sanitation techniques and their impact on health outcomes during the Crimean War. This data-driven approach led to significant improvements in patient care and reduced infection rates. Lillian Wald and Mary Brewster were also influential nurses, but they are not specifically known for their focus on sanitation techniques and health effects. Oprah, on the other hand, is not a nurse and is not associated with healthcare or nursing practices.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse caring for 2 clients with communicable diseases. Following the diagnosis and treatment of these clients. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Notify the state health department. This is crucial to prevent the spread of communicable diseases in the community. By reporting to the state health department, proper protocols can be implemented to contain and manage the diseases effectively. Keeping it a secret (A) is unethical and can lead to further spread. Only telling family members (B) is not sufficient as it does not address the public health concern. Option D is incomplete, making it incorrect. Reporting to the state health department is the appropriate action to ensure public health and safety.
