The presence of any of these risk factors means that ______.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The presence of risk factors indicates an increased likelihood or susceptibility to developing a particular disease. While risk modification and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce the risk, having these risk factors still increases the overall chances of getting the disease compared to individuals without the same risk factors. It is essential for individuals with risk factors to be proactive in managing their health to mitigate the increased risk.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Nurse Filomena would consider the purpose of the health fair to be multiphasic screening. A multiphasic screening event involves offering various health screening tests at the same time to individuals within the community. These screenings aim to detect a range of health conditions early on, ultimately promoting prevention and early intervention. By organizing a health fair with several screening tests being given simultaneously, Nurse Filomena's primary goal is likely to help identify health issues in the community proactively and provide education and resources for ongoing health promotion and disease prevention. While aspects of community service, community bonding, and case finding may also be outcomes of the health fair, the focus on conducting multiple screening tests aligns most closely with the concept of multiphasic screening as the primary purpose.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The core public health function of assessment involves systematic data collection on the population's health status, monitoring changes in health, and making information available to the public. In this context, collecting data and monitoring the health status of the population directly aligns with the assessment function of public health. Quality assurance focuses on ensuring that health services meet established standards, policy development involves creating policies to address public health issues, and health promotion involves empowering individuals to improve their health. While these functions are also essential in public health, the act of collecting data and monitoring health status specifically falls under the assessment core function.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Following an amniotomy procedure during labor, Nurse Hope's priority should be to assess the fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern. This assessment is crucial to ensure the well-being and safety of the fetus. Changes in the FHR can provide valuable information about fetal distress or complications, allowing for timely interventions if needed. Monitoring the FHR pattern is a standard practice during labor and delivery to track the fetus's response to the changes in uterine activity. Therefore, assessing the FHR pattern should be the first priority after a labor progress and amniotomy.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When examining a child, especially one who may already be feeling scared or uncomfortable, it is important to prioritize the order of procedures to help maintain their cooperation and reduce their anxiety. Undressing the child is typically done first to ensure a thorough examination can be performed, and it is a less invasive procedure compared to others. Inspection of the throat with a throat stick and inspection of the ears with an otoscope are common procedures that may cause mild discomfort but are often tolerated well by children. Auscultation of the heart is usually done after these initial steps and is not typically as uncomfortable or frightening for children compared to other procedures. Therefore, auscultation of the heart should not be the last thing to do when examining a child to avoid frightening them.
