Healthy People 2030 Questions
Question 1 of 5
An infected client was on an airplane traveling home and it was shedding a virus that can directly
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Direct. In this scenario, the virus is being transmitted directly from the infected client to others on the airplane without any intermediary. The term "direct transmission" refers to the immediate transfer of an infectious agent from an infected individual to a susceptible host. This aligns with the situation described in the question where the virus is being shed by the infected client and directly transmitted to others on the plane. Choice A (Which form of transmission is being described) is incorrect as it does not provide a specific answer to the type of transmission discussed in the scenario. Choice B (Agent) is incorrect as it refers to the infectious microorganism itself rather than the mode of transmission. Choice D (Environment) is incorrect as it does not directly address the method of transmission from the infected client to others on the airplane.
Question 2 of 5
One day care child had a slight fever and did not eat lunch but finished the school day. Three days later several other students in the same home care room were absent. Which best describes what happened?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The child with a slight fever likely had an infectious disease that was contagious before showing symptoms. This scenario aligns with the concept of asymptomatic transmission, where the child spread the disease to others without showing obvious signs initially. Choice B is incorrect because the child did exhibit symptoms. Choice C is unlikely as one child alone usually does not cause multiple absences.
Question 3 of 5
Which best describes why clinical areas are so careful to insure sanitation of surfaces and equipment between each client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: To decrease transmission by fomites (utensils, countertops, etc). Sanitizing surfaces and equipment between clients helps prevent the spread of pathogens through contaminated objects (fomites). This practice is crucial in clinical settings to reduce the risk of infections. Choice A is incorrect as clinical areas do sanitize surfaces. Choice C is irrelevant as the primary goal is not to maintain a lovely environment but to ensure health and safety. Choice D is too vague and does not explain the specific reason for sanitation in clinical areas.
Question 4 of 5
During an outbreak in a community, all hospital staff members were given immunoglobulin if
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Passive Immunity. When hospital staff members are given immunoglobulin during an outbreak, they are receiving pre-formed antibodies from an external source, providing immediate protection. This is a form of passive immunity, where immunity is transferred without the individual's immune system needing to produce antibodies. Acquired Immunity (C) refers to immunity developed by the body after exposure to an antigen, which is not the case here as the staff is receiving pre-formed antibodies. Passive Acquired Immunity (D) is not a recognized term in immunology, and Choice A is simply a restatement of the question without providing a specific answer.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement by a caregiver of a child shows the nurse an understanding of vaccine safety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates an understanding of vaccine safety by acknowledging the low probability of severe reactions. This statement shows the caregiver has knowledge of the rarity of adverse events following vaccination, indicating a balanced perspective on the risks and benefits. A: Incorrect. This choice reflects a decision not to vaccinate without mentioning safety awareness. B: Incorrect. This choice indicates a general disagreement with vaccines but doesn't address safety understanding. D: Incorrect. This choice lacks any information related to vaccine safety or understanding of risks.
