Community Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A senior high school student, whose immunization status is current, asks the school nurse which immunizations will be included in the precollege physical. Which vaccine should the nurse tell the student to expect to receive?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (B - Measles, mumps, rubella): 1. Precollege physicals often require proof of MMR vaccination. 2. MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. 3. These diseases are highly contagious and can spread easily in school settings. 4. MMR vaccination is crucial for preventing outbreaks in schools. 5. Hepatitis C (A) is not typically included in routine precollege physical immunizations. 6. Influenza type B (C) may be recommended seasonally but is not a routine precollege requirement.
Question 2 of 5
The community health nurse is planning a series of educational courses about the healthcare system and meeting healthcare needs for the community center. Which adjunct issue should the nurse address for a group of older adults?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Retirement issues. Addressing retirement issues is crucial for older adults as it directly impacts their financial security, healthcare access, and overall well-being. Retirement planning helps older adults navigate changes in income, insurance coverage, and healthcare options. It is essential for the nurse to educate older adults on retirement benefits, healthcare coverage after retirement, and resources available for financial planning. Summary of other choices: A: Peer concerns - While social support is important for older adults, it is not directly related to addressing healthcare needs or the healthcare system. B: Adult daycare - While adult daycare may be beneficial for some older adults, it does not specifically address the healthcare system or meeting healthcare needs.
Question 3 of 5
The home health care agency can expect to obtain Medicare reimbursement for which home visit performed by a registered nurse (RN) or a practical nurse (PN)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because Medicare typically reimburses for skilled nursing services related to wound care for postoperative clients. Wound care requires specialized knowledge and skills that registered nurses (RNs) and practical nurses (PNs) possess. Assessing speech patterns (A) and safety teaching (B) can be done by other healthcare professionals. Evaluating crutch use (D) is important but may not necessarily require the level of skill and knowledge provided by RNs or PNs for Medicare reimbursement.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is planning an immunization campaign targeting the children of migrant farm workers in the community. Which data should the nurse review before exploring solution options when developing this program plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because reviewing target population data is crucial for planning an immunization campaign. This data helps the nurse understand the specific needs, demographics, and health status of the children of migrant farm workers. By analyzing this data, the nurse can tailor the campaign to address the unique challenges and barriers this population may face. A: Uncertain risks - This is not the most critical data to review initially as it may not provide specific information necessary for planning the campaign. B: Potential outcomes - While important to consider later in the planning process, it is not as essential as understanding the target population data. C: Priority of solutions - This is premature to determine without first reviewing the target population data to inform the solutions.
Question 5 of 5
Which bioterrorism agent is at high risk for use as a potential biological weapon that is readily transmitted by several portals of entry?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Smallpox. Smallpox is highly transmissible through respiratory droplets, making it a prime candidate for use as a biological weapon. It can spread through various portals of entry, including inhalation and direct contact. Smallpox has a high mortality rate and can easily cause widespread devastation. Anthrax (A), Botulism (C), and Tularemia (D) are also potential bioterrorism agents, but they are not as easily transmissible through multiple portals of entry as Smallpox, making them less likely to be used for mass dissemination.
