HESI Community Health Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is developing a community health program to address the high rates of hypertension in a neighborhood. Which intervention should the nurse prioritize?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Conducting free blood pressure screenings helps identify individuals with hypertension and connects them to necessary medical care.

Question 2 of 5

When documenting assessment data, which statement should the nurse record in the narrative nursing notes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. When documenting assessment data in the narrative nursing notes, it is essential to include objective findings that are specific, clear, and descriptive. 'S1 murmur auscultated in supine position' provides a precise and objective assessment finding that can aid in accurately documenting the client's condition. Choices A, B, and D are more subjective statements that lack the specificity and clarity required for detailed documentation. 'Client appears anxious' and 'Client is resting quietly' are subjective observations, while 'Client's skin is warm and dry' is an objective finding but may not be as significant or relevant for comprehensive documentation as the auscultated murmur.

Question 3 of 5

The school nurse who is reviewing immunization records of students who will start kindergarten within the next month notes that most of the students have only received one dose of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Reminding parents about the second dose ensures that children receive the complete vaccination on time.

Question 4 of 5

A client with a history of peptic ulcer disease is admitted with severe epigastric pain. Which finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rebound tenderness can indicate peritonitis, which requires immediate intervention.

Question 5 of 5

During a repeat home visit to see an 84-year-old widow, the nurse discovers that the client is unkempt, smells of stale urine, and does not recognize her neighbors or the nurse. What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this scenario, the nurse should prioritize completing a physical and mental exam on the client. This action is crucial to assess the client's health status comprehensively and identify any underlying issues contributing to her unkempt appearance, odor of stale urine, and confusion. Calling the pharmacy to determine medications (Choice A) may be important but is not the immediate priority. Seeking family assistance (Choice B) can be helpful, but the client's condition requires a thorough assessment first. While adult protective services (Choice D) may be necessary in the future, the immediate action should be to assess the client's physical and mental health status.
