Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

A public health nurse is planning a campaign to increase immunization rates among children in a low-income community. Which intervention should the nurse prioritize?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Providing free immunizations directly addresses financial barriers and increases accessibility for families in low-income communities.

Question 2 of 5

A client with hyperthyroidism is receiving radioactive iodine therapy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D.' The client stating 'I may experience some neck swelling' does not indicate a need for further teaching since neck swelling is an expected side effect of radioactive iodine therapy. Choices A and B are correct statements as the client should avoid close contact with pregnant women and children for a few days due to radiation exposure, and dry mouth and taste changes are common side effects. Choice C is redundant with choice D, making D the correct answer.

Question 3 of 5

A public health nurse is planning an educational campaign to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the community. Which group should be the primary target of this campaign?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Middle-aged adults are at a higher risk for developing hypertension and can benefit most from preventive measures.

Question 4 of 5

A public health nurse is developing a campaign to promote breast cancer screening. Which population should be the primary target of this campaign?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is women aged 40-50. This age group is at an increased risk for breast cancer and should be the primary target for screening campaigns. Women in this age range are more likely to benefit from regular screening as early detection can lead to better outcomes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because women aged 20-30 are generally not recommended for routine screening due to their lower risk, women aged 30-40 have a moderate risk but are not the primary target group, and women aged 50-60 should still be screened but targeting the 40-50 age group is more crucial for early detection and intervention.
