Nursing Care of Vulnerable Populations Questions
Question 1 of 5
From whom is a rural resident with asthma most likely to receive health care services?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Advanced nurse practitioner. Rural residents with asthma are more likely to receive health care services from advanced nurse practitioners due to their accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to provide comprehensive care including diagnosis, treatment, and education. Nurse practitioners often work in primary care settings in rural areas where specialist services may be limited. Allergists (B) and Pulmonologists (D) are specialists who may not be readily available in rural areas. Pediatricians (C) primarily focus on children's health and may not provide specialized care for adult asthma patients in rural settings.
Question 2 of 5
What condition of the rural environment provides increased opportunities for teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because involvement in rural community activities provides more contact with community residents than in urban areas. This is true because rural communities tend to be smaller and more tightly knit, leading to increased opportunities for teaching through interactions with a diverse range of community members. A is incorrect because the frequency of visiting neighbors is not necessarily linked to increased opportunities for teaching. C is incorrect as it refers to nursing responsibilities rather than the condition of the rural environment. D is incorrect as increased illnesses and injuries do not necessarily translate to increased opportunities for teaching, as teaching opportunities are more related to community involvement and interactions.
Question 3 of 5
A migrant farmworker's family seemed to be very stressed, although their employer had given them the day off to visit the clinic and told them to take all the time they needed. In addition to the health issue, what might be the family's fear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1. The correct answer is B because migrant farmworkers often fear immigration officials due to their undocumented status. 2. Fear of deportation is a significant concern for migrant families, leading to stress and anxiety. 3. This fear is heightened by the current political climate and increased enforcement of immigration laws. 4. Choice A is incorrect as the scenario does not suggest any indication of theft being a primary fear. 5. Choice C is incorrect as there is no evidence in the scenario to suggest bias from clinic personnel. 6. Choice D is incorrect as the scenario states the employer gave them the day off, indicating a level of job security.
Question 4 of 5
A friend who is a nurse tells you that her family is moving from the urban area where you both live to a rural area to be near her spouse's parents, who are becoming less independent. What advice would you give for the nurse in preparing for any possible nursing role changes? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: Moving from an urban to rural area can bring changes in nursing roles. In a small town, healthcare resources may be limited, leading to less autonomy for the nurse compared to a medical center setting. This is because the nurse may need to work closely with limited staff and resources, making decisions collaboratively rather than independently. It is important for the nurse to expect this change and adapt accordingly. Summary: A: Incorrect - Community perception may vary, and it is not a guaranteed outcome. C: Incorrect - Acceptance by the community is subjective and may not necessarily result in isolation. D: Incorrect - Sensitivity to rural lifestyle is important, but it does not directly address the change in autonomy levels for the nurse.
Question 5 of 5
A school nurse was caring for an 8-year-old child who had been hurt on the school playground. During the nurse's assessment, the child admitted that her mother was working but didn't make much money so the girl and her mother were living in their car. Based on this information, what might the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The child may be a member of the 5H club. The 5H club stands for homeless, hungry, helpless, hopeless, and hurting. Given that the child and her mother are living in their car due to financial constraints, the nurse may suspect that the child is experiencing homelessness, hunger, helplessness, hopelessness, and potentially being hurt. This situation can significantly impact the child's physical and mental well-being, making it crucial for the nurse to address these issues promptly. Incorrect Choices: A: The child is accident-prone and clumsy - This choice does not address the underlying issue of homelessness and financial struggles indicated by the child's living situation. B: The child is being bullied and pushed around by other children - While bullying is a valid concern, the child's living situation suggests a more urgent issue related to homelessness and poverty. D: The child tripped, so perhaps she needs vision screening - Vision screening may be important for general health,
