Healthy People 2030 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing action is considered the secondary level of prevention? SATA
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because preparing a client for a colonoscopy is a secondary prevention measure aimed at detecting diseases early when they are asymptomatic. This helps prevent progression to more serious stages. Choices B, C, and D are not considered secondary prevention measures. Providing reading material about the flu vaccine (B) is health promotion. Discussing age dietary requirements (C) is primary prevention. Administering pain medication for a post-op client (D) is tertiary prevention aimed at managing complications.
Question 2 of 5
An infected client was on an airplane traveling home and it was shedding a virus that can directly
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Direct. In this scenario, the virus is being transmitted directly from the infected client to others on the airplane without any intermediary. The term "direct transmission" refers to the immediate transfer of an infectious agent from an infected individual to a susceptible host. This aligns with the situation described in the question where the virus is being shed by the infected client and directly transmitted to others on the plane. Choice A (Which form of transmission is being described) is incorrect as it does not provide a specific answer to the type of transmission discussed in the scenario. Choice B (Agent) is incorrect as it refers to the infectious microorganism itself rather than the mode of transmission. Choice D (Environment) is incorrect as it does not directly address the method of transmission from the infected client to others on the airplane.
Question 3 of 5
A female client develops a vaginal yeast infection after a course of antibiotics for strep throat. Which component of the epidemiological triangle is primary responsible?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Agent. Antibiotics are the agent responsible for disrupting the normal vaginal flora, leading to the overgrowth of yeast causing the infection. The host (female client) is susceptible due to the altered microbial balance. The environment (vaginal environment) plays a secondary role. Antibiotics are not the primary cause but rather the factor that disrupts the balance, making choice D incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
One day care child had a slight fever and did not eat lunch but finished the school day. Three days later several other students in the same home care room were absent. Which best describes what happened?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The child with a slight fever likely had an infectious disease that was contagious before showing symptoms. This scenario aligns with the concept of asymptomatic transmission, where the child spread the disease to others without showing obvious signs initially. Choice B is incorrect because the child did exhibit symptoms. Choice C is unlikely as one child alone usually does not cause multiple absences.
Question 5 of 5
Which best describes why clinical areas are so careful to insure sanitation of surfaces and equipment between each client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: To decrease transmission by fomites (utensils, countertops, etc). Sanitizing surfaces and equipment between clients helps prevent the spread of pathogens through contaminated objects (fomites). This practice is crucial in clinical settings to reduce the risk of infections. Choice A is incorrect as clinical areas do sanitize surfaces. Choice C is irrelevant as the primary goal is not to maintain a lovely environment but to ensure health and safety. Choice D is too vague and does not explain the specific reason for sanitation in clinical areas.
