Question 1 of 5
An occupational health nurse in a clinic of an industrial plant is developing a guidebook for clinic worker. Which of the following actions should the nurse include as a secondary prevention strategy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because helping plant workers identify signs of carpal tunnel syndrome is a secondary prevention strategy. Secondary prevention aims to detect and treat health issues in their early stages to prevent further complications. By educating workers on recognizing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, the nurse can facilitate early intervention and prevent the condition from progressing. Setting up an immunization center (choice A) is a primary prevention strategy aimed at preventing diseases before they occur. Providing treatment for COPD (choice B) is a tertiary prevention strategy that focuses on managing and reducing the impact of an existing condition. Choice D is incomplete.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult about yearly vaccination. What yearly vaccination will decrease the risk of death from which of the following illness in the older adult population?
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. Summary: Yearly flu vaccination for older adults decreases the risk of death by preventing flu-related complications. Measles, DtaP, and whooping cough vaccinations are not as crucial for this age group.
Question 3 of 5
A community nurse is conducting an educational program on various environmental pollutants. The nurse should emphasize the clients who have which of the following disorders that are especially vulnerable in the ozone effects.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Asthma. Ozone can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma due to its irritating effects on the airways. Asthma patients are more vulnerable to ozone-induced respiratory symptoms. Chicken pox (A), Scarlet Fever (C), and Malaria (D) are not directly affected by ozone exposure. Asthma is the most relevant disorder in this context due to its respiratory nature and susceptibility to ozone effects.
Question 4 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 5 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.
