Care of Vulnerable Populations Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse reports that in comparison to all the children in a particular school, the children who are members of the Cub Scouts have 0.3 risk for obesity before entering the sixth grade. What would you recommend to the new parents of two boys who had just moved into this school's neighborhood?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because as a nurse, it is important to provide evidence-based information to parents and let them make informed decisions. By sharing the finding with the parents, they can assess the risk and decide whether enrolling their sons in Cub Scouts is suitable for them. This empowers parents to make choices based on available information. Choice A is incorrect because it assumes a direct causation between Cub Scouts and obesity without considering other factors. Choice B is incorrect because as a nurse, providing relevant information to parents is essential for their decision-making process. Choice C is incorrect because it imposes a decision on the parents without allowing them to consider all the factors involved.
Question 2 of 5
Some nurses decide to hold a health screening at a large urban mall. What variables will help the nurses determine which screenings to do? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, as it is essential to consider the specific health problems that the population at the mall is at risk for. This information will help the nurses prioritize which screenings to conduct based on the prevalent health issues in that community. A, C, and D are incorrect: A: The availability of space for individuals to lie down is important for post-testing care but does not directly help determine which screenings to conduct. C: Privacy considerations are important but do not directly impact the selection of health screenings. D: While follow-up care is crucial, the availability of healthcare providers does not guide the selection of screenings based on the population's specific health risks.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a family that includes an adult and a school-aged child named Jackson. Which of the following questions should the nurse prioritize to ask the adult?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "What is your relationship to Jackson?" This question should be prioritized because it helps the nurse understand the family dynamics and the adult's role in Jackson's life. By knowing the adult's relationship to Jackson, the nurse can better assess the support system and decision-making authority within the family. Incorrect choices: A: Asking about concerns regarding the son's health is important but not the priority as understanding the relationship dynamics first. C: Inquiring about the other parent as a source of support is relevant but secondary to establishing the primary relationship. D: Asking about the number of other children is less crucial in this context compared to identifying the adult's relationship to Jackson.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching family members how to read food labels. According to the Calgary Family Intervention Model, which of the following actions by the family incorporates all three functional domains?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it incorporates all three functional domains of the Calgary Family Intervention Model: instrumental, interactive, and affective. In this scenario, the family is engaging in instrumental actions by reading nutrition labels and selecting low-sodium foods (functional domain 1). They are also interacting with each other and the environment while shopping, which aligns with the interactive domain (functional domain 2). Lastly, by choosing low-sodium foods, they are demonstrating affective responses and attitudes towards health and nutrition, fulfilling the affective domain (functional domain 3). Choices A, B, and C do not incorporate all three functional domains as described by the Calgary Family Intervention Model. Choice A only addresses instrumental actions but lacks interactive and affective components. Choice B focuses on interactive learning but does not include instrumental or affective aspects. Choice C involves practice but does not cover all three functional domains.
Question 5 of 5
The community nurse is working with a family and determines one of the family members is repeatedly telling
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Emotional abuse. This is because repeatedly telling someone negative or hurtful things can cause psychological harm and emotional distress. Emotional abuse involves behaviors that undermine a person's self-worth and mental well-being. In this scenario, the family member's actions are causing emotional harm rather than physical or sexual harm. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the behavior described in the question. Sexual abuse involves unwanted sexual advances or behavior, physical abuse involves intentional harm or injury, and emotional abuse involves psychological manipulation and harm.
