Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

During a home health visit the nurse notices that an older male client with type 2 diabetes mellitus is wearing loose cloth slippers. The client reports that he cannot comfortably wear other shoes because his toenails get in the way. The nurse inspects the clients feet and finds long thick nails that curl down under some of the toes. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Scheduling an appointment with a podiatrist ensures that the client receives professional foot care.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with Addison's disease. Which finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Low blood pressure in a client with Addison's disease requires immediate intervention as it can indicate an Addisonian crisis, a life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt treatment. Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a characteristic finding in Addison's disease but does not require immediate intervention. Nausea and vomiting can be managed symptomatically in Addison's disease. While hypoglycemia needs attention, it is not the most critical finding requiring immediate intervention in this context.

Question 3 of 5

A public health nurse is planning a vaccination clinic for a rural community. Which vaccine should the nurse prioritize for adults in this area?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: influenza.' Influenza vaccination is crucial for adults, particularly in rural areas where access to healthcare may be limited. Influenza can cause serious illness and complications, and vaccination helps protect individuals and prevent the spread of the virus. While vaccines for hepatitis A, varicella, and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) are important, prioritizing influenza vaccination in this scenario is essential due to its seasonal prevalence and potential impact on public health.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a nasogastric tube to continuous suction. Which electrolyte imbalance should the nurse monitor for?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte imbalance in clients with a nasogastric tube to continuous suction because potassium is lost through gastric fluids.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse notices that the influenza immunization rate is much lower for certain demographic groups than for others. Which intervention is likely to be most useful in increasing the rates of immunization in the underserved community groups?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Conveniently located clinics in target neighborhoods increase accessibility and are likely to boost immunization rates.
