Community Needs Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The home health nurse is admitting a client with Parkinson's disease
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the priority in caring for a client with Parkinson's disease is safety. Nursing diagnosis related to safety concerns, such as Risk for Falls or Impaired Safety, take precedence. Impaired physical mobility (choice B) may be a result of the disease but is not the priority. Ineffective coping (choice C) and Ineffective breathing pattern (choice D) are important but do not address the immediate safety needs of the client with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the priority nursing diagnosis in this case is related to safety to prevent any potential harm or injury to the client.
Question 2 of 5
After accepting the position of school nurse in an public elementary school, what strategy is best for the nurse to use to obtain an overview understanding of the student body?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because conducting a windshield survey of the geographic areas served by the school allows the nurse to visually observe the community, identify resources, potential health risks, and demographics. This method provides a holistic understanding of the student body beyond health records or parent interactions. Reviewing health records (A) would only provide medical information, not a comprehensive overview. Talking with PTA officers (B) may give insight into school activities but not a complete student body profile. Sending a survey form to parents (C) only captures information from a limited group and may not be representative of the entire student population. Conducting a windshield survey is the most effective strategy to gain an overview understanding of the student body.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse at a health fair has taken a client's blood pressure twice, 10 minutes COMMUNITY HEALTH PRACTICE EXAM - VERSION A
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the nurse should record both blood pressure readings and report them to the healthcare provider for further evaluation. Blood pressure readings of 172/104 mm Hg and 164/98 mm Hg are elevated and require medical attention. Referring the client to a nutritionist (B) or assessing for stress (D) are not immediate actions needed for these high blood pressure readings. Placing the client in a recumbent position and calling paramedics (C) is only necessary in cases of hypertensive emergencies, which are not indicated in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
A male client is brought to the emergency department as the result of a motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, and states that he
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale for Choice C: 1. Choice C empowers the client by encouraging him to consider wearing a helmet, promoting his safety. 2. It acknowledges the client's autonomy while emphasizing the importance of helmet use. 3. The nurse's response aligns with the principles of health promotion and injury prevention. Summary of Other Choices: - Choice A: TTM focuses on stages of behavior change, not the immediate safety concern of helmet use. - Choice B: This response fails to address the critical safety issue at hand, prioritizing individual choice over safety. - Choice D: While true, this choice does not address the client's current behavior or provide guidance for future actions.
Question 5 of 5
The nursing education coordinator is creating employee orientation materials for staff
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because understanding the community health practice is crucial for providing effective care. Educating staff on client demographics, health needs, and cultural considerations can enhance patient outcomes. Option B is incorrect as it provides specific information rather than a general guideline. Options C and D are incomplete and do not address the community health aspect.
