Community Health HESI Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

Care provided by specialists in health facilities such as medical centers, regional, and provincial hospitals falls under which level of care?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Tertiary care is the correct answer because it involves specialized care provided by medical centers and regional or provincial hospitals. Primary care (Choice B) refers to basic healthcare services usually delivered by general practitioners, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Secondary care (Choice A) involves specialized services provided by medical specialists and other health professionals who generally do not have first contact with patients. Intermediate care (Choice D) is not a recognized level of care in the typical healthcare system hierarchy; it may cause confusion as it's not a standard term used to describe levels of care.

Question 2 of 5

What does the concept of 'health equity' refer to?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The concept of health equity refers to eliminating health disparities among different population groups. This means ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible, regardless of social determinants such as race, ethnicity, income, or geographic location. Choice A is incorrect because health equity goes beyond just access to healthcare and focuses on achieving health equality. Choice B is incorrect as health equity considers individual needs rather than providing the same treatments to everyone. Choice D is incorrect as health equity aims to address disparities and inequalities, not just focus on the healthcare needs of the wealthy.

Question 3 of 5

What title should be given to this occupational health nurse job description?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct title for this occupational health nurse job description is 'nurse consultant.' A nurse consultant is a registered professional nurse with expertise in occupational and environmental health nursing, effective communication skills, and good administrative and consultative abilities. Choice A, 'manager,' is incorrect as the job description does not primarily focus on managerial duties. Choice B, 'case manager,' is incorrect as it does not fully cover the scope of the described role. Choice C, 'health educator,' is incorrect as it does not encompass the administrative and consultative skills mentioned in the job description.

Question 4 of 5

A client with schizophrenia is receiving haloperidol (Haldol). The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following side effects?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Extrapyramidal symptoms. Haloperidol is a first-generation antipsychotic that can lead to extrapyramidal symptoms such as tardive dyskinesia and akathisia. These side effects are common with the use of typical antipsychotics. Choice A, Tachycardia, is not a common side effect of haloperidol. Choice B, Hypotension, is also not a typical side effect associated with haloperidol use. Choice D, Hyperglycemia, is not directly linked to haloperidol administration, as it is more commonly associated with other medications like atypical antipsychotics or certain medical conditions.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is planning a nutrition class for a group of high school students emphasizing the goals for nutrition from Healthy People 2020. Which meal selection provides the best choices in meeting these goals?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because vegetable lasagna, lettuce salad, and a whole wheat roll with 2% milk align with the nutrition goals of Healthy People 2020. These choices provide a balanced meal with vegetables, whole grains, and dairy, promoting a healthier dietary pattern. Choices A, B, and D do not offer as comprehensive a selection of food groups or as healthy options as choice C, making them less aligned with the nutrition goals of Healthy People 2020.
