Care of Vulnerable Populations Questions
Question 1 of 5
Some nurses decide to hold a health screening at a large urban mall. What variables will help the nurses determine which screenings to do? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, as it is essential to consider the specific health problems that the population at the mall is at risk for. This information will help the nurses prioritize which screenings to conduct based on the prevalent health issues in that community. A, C, and D are incorrect: A: The availability of space for individuals to lie down is important for post-testing care but does not directly help determine which screenings to conduct. C: Privacy considerations are important but do not directly impact the selection of health screenings. D: While follow-up care is crucial, the availability of healthcare providers does not guide the selection of screenings based on the population's specific health risks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching family members how to read food labels. According to the Calgary Family Intervention Model, which of the following actions by the family incorporates all three functional domains?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it incorporates all three functional domains of the Calgary Family Intervention Model: instrumental, interactive, and affective. In this scenario, the family is engaging in instrumental actions by reading nutrition labels and selecting low-sodium foods (functional domain 1). They are also interacting with each other and the environment while shopping, which aligns with the interactive domain (functional domain 2). Lastly, by choosing low-sodium foods, they are demonstrating affective responses and attitudes towards health and nutrition, fulfilling the affective domain (functional domain 3). Choices A, B, and C do not incorporate all three functional domains as described by the Calgary Family Intervention Model. Choice A only addresses instrumental actions but lacks interactive and affective components. Choice B focuses on interactive learning but does not include instrumental or affective aspects. Choice C involves practice but does not cover all three functional domains.
Question 3 of 5
The community nurse is working with a family and determines one of the family members is repeatedly telling
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Emotional abuse. This is because repeatedly telling someone negative or hurtful things can cause psychological harm and emotional distress. Emotional abuse involves behaviors that undermine a person's self-worth and mental well-being. In this scenario, the family member's actions are causing emotional harm rather than physical or sexual harm. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not align with the behavior described in the question. Sexual abuse involves unwanted sexual advances or behavior, physical abuse involves intentional harm or injury, and emotional abuse involves psychological manipulation and harm.
Question 4 of 5
A community nurse is making a visit to an older adult client. The nurse identifies which of the following strategies that can be used in prevention of abuse in this client population?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because taking the time to listen to both the client and their family allows the nurse to offer resources and support, which can help prevent abuse. By actively listening, the nurse can identify any signs of abuse, provide education on healthy relationships, and connect the client to appropriate services. This approach promotes client autonomy and ensures their needs are addressed. Choice B is incorrect because it assumes that older adults are always confused, which is a stereotype and can lead to overlooking potential abuse. Choice D is also incorrect as involving family members can be crucial in assessing the client's situation comprehensively and providing necessary support. Choice C is incomplete and does not provide a viable strategy for preventing abuse in older adult clients.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is working with a group of clients that includes assault survivors. Which of the following actions by the nurse best reflects trauma-informed care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because placing a hand on the client's shoulder shows physical support and comfort, which can help build trust and a sense of safety for assault survivors. This gesture acknowledges the client's feelings without being invasive. Choice B is incorrect as using medical terminology may be intimidating and triggering for assault survivors. Choice C is incorrect as simply introducing oneself and explaining the session does not specifically address the trauma aspect. Choice D is incorrect as walking around can be unsettling and trigger feelings of vulnerability in assault survivors.
