Healthy People 2030 Questions
Question 1 of 4
Which condition would the school nurse tell caregivers of adolescents is a protective relationship factor that can protect against suicide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Family support. Family support is a protective factor against suicide in adolescents because it provides emotional stability, communication, and a sense of belonging. Adolescents with strong family support are more likely to seek help and share their feelings, reducing the risk of suicide. Social media (A) can have negative effects on mental health, increasing feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Peer pressure (C) can exacerbate stress and lead to risky behaviors. Community suicide clusters (D) can normalize suicidal behavior and increase the risk of contagion. In summary, family support fosters resilience and emotional well-being, making it a crucial protective factor against suicide in adolescents.
Question 2 of 4
The community health nurse is developing a primary prevention program for children. Which intervention would the nurse promote?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Immunizations according to recommended schedules. This is the most appropriate primary prevention intervention for children as immunizations help prevent the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases. Immunizations are a cost-effective strategy to protect children and the community from serious illnesses. Regular vision screenings (B) are important for early detection of vision problems but are not considered primary prevention. Speech therapy (C) for children with developmental delays focuses on treatment rather than prevention. Medical care for health problems (D) is considered secondary or tertiary prevention, addressing health issues after they have already occurred.
Question 3 of 4
Which intervention would the public health nurse implement in the community to address the Healthy People 2030 goal of reducing falls in older adults?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Reduce inappropriate medications. This intervention aligns with the goal of reducing falls in older adults by addressing a key risk factor. Inappropriate medications can cause dizziness and imbalance, increasing the risk of falls. By working to reduce the use of such medications, the public health nurse can help prevent falls in older adults. Providing assistive devices (A) can be helpful but does not directly address the root cause of falls. Encouraging sedentary activity (B) can actually increase the risk of falls by leading to muscle weakness and decreased balance. Ambulating only with a caregiver (D) may not always be feasible or necessary for all older adults.
Question 4 of 4
The public health nurse is providing education to families of older adults in the community about risk factors
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Chronic health conditions are significant risk factors for older adults as they can impact their overall health and quality of life. The presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk of complications, hospitalizations, and functional decline. Educating families about these conditions can help them understand the importance of managing them effectively. Choice A is too broad and does not specifically address health risks. Choice B, physical activity, is important but not as directly related to health risks as chronic conditions. Choice C, visits from family and friends, may have a social impact but does not directly address health risks. In summary, chronic health conditions are the most relevant risk factor to address in educating families about older adults' health.
