Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. The correct answer is B: Flu vaccination. 2. In older adults, flu can lead to severe complications and even death. 3. Yearly flu vaccination helps prevent flu-related illnesses and reduces the risk of death. 4. Measles (A) is not a common concern in older adults. 5. DtaP (C) and whooping cough (D) vaccinations are more relevant for children and young adults.

Question 2 of 5
A community nurse wants to obtain an overview of the community, but it has limited time and resources. Which of the following methods would the nurse most likely use to obtain this information?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Windshield survey. A windshield survey involves driving or walking around the community to observe its physical and social characteristics, such as housing conditions, amenities, and population demographics. This method allows the nurse to quickly gather valuable information about the community's overall health and social needs. Asking a coworker for help (B) may provide some insights but may not offer a comprehensive overview. Skipping the community (C) would neglect the nurse's responsibility to understand the community's needs. Option D is incomplete, making it an invalid choice.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
How would the community health nurse demonstrate the public health nursing practice
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because public health nursing practice involves assessing the needs of the community as a whole and providing care based on those needs. This includes conducting community assessments to understand the population's health issues and developing interventions to address them. Choice A is vague and does not address the core principles of public health nursing. Choice C is incorrect as public health nursing is a recognized specialty within the nursing profession. Choice D is incorrect because public health nursing practice is collaborative and involves working with the community to identify and address its needs, rather than deciding independently.
Question 5 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.
