Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

The public health nurse is evaluating resources in a rural community. Which healthcare resource is most important for the community?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Access to trauma care is crucial in rural areas due to the potential for delayed emergency response times.

Question 2 of 5

The healthcare provider is preparing to administer digoxin (Lanoxin) to a client. Which assessment finding should the healthcare provider report before administering the medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Seeing halos around lights is a classic symptom of digoxin toxicity, known as visual disturbances. This finding indicates an adverse effect of digoxin and should be reported immediately to the healthcare provider. Monitoring for visual changes is crucial as it can progress to more severe toxicity, leading to life-threatening dysrhythmias or other complications. Apical pulse, serum potassium level, and blood pressure are important assessments when administering digoxin, but the presence of visual disturbances, such as seeing halos around lights, takes precedence due to its direct association with digoxin toxicity. Changes in these other parameters should also be noted and addressed, but they are not the priority when compared to a symptom directly linked to potential toxicity.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Conveniently located clinics in target neighborhoods increase accessibility and are likely to boost immunization rates.
