Question 1 of 5
Which of the following demonstrates the third phase of application of the community health nursing process?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because developing a 6-week wellness program represents the third phase of the community health nursing process, which is planning and implementing interventions. This phase involves creating specific actions to address the identified needs of the community. Assessing cultural norms (A) is part of the first phase, assessment. Determining needs (B) is part of the second phase, diagnosis. Supervising a fitness class (D) is more related to the implementation phase. Therefore, C is the correct choice as it aligns with the planning and implementation phase of the community health nursing process.
Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) is orienting a new recruit to a health clinic that primarily serves structurally vulnerable populations. Which statement by the CHN indicates a need for additional information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it makes a generalization about Filipino immigrants without providing any specific information or guidance on how to effectively work with them. It is important for the CHN to understand that each individual within any cultural group is unique and may not necessarily fit into stereotypes. Providing additional information on cultural competence and how to work effectively with diverse populations would be more beneficial. Choice A is correct as it emphasizes the importance of obtaining an interpreter for clients who do not speak English to ensure effective communication. Choice B is correct as it emphasizes the importance of addressing all client concerns during a single visit to maximize efficiency and client satisfaction. Choice D is correct as it highlights the importance of assisting clients with scheduling referrals and follow-up appointments to ensure continuity of care.
Question 3 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) presents a proposal for a program for preventing adolescent pregnancy to a group of parents. In the discussion that follows the presentation, which statement by a parent indicates the need for additional teaching by the CHN?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because being very strict and constantly checking on a child does not promote open communication or trust. This approach may lead to rebellious behavior and hiding information. Choice A shows willingness to communicate about birth control, C demonstrates a plan for open dialogue, and D indicates increased parental involvement, which are all positive strategies for preventing adolescent pregnancy.
Question 4 of 5
What community health nursing action could potentially increase accessibility to health care services for clients experiencing mental illness and housing instability?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because funding a mobile clinic can bring healthcare services directly to clients, addressing the accessibility issue. This action eliminates transportation barriers and provides care in a familiar environment. Choice B only informs clients of existing services without addressing accessibility. Choice C addresses housing instability but not healthcare accessibility. Choice D addresses basic needs but not healthcare access. Overall, choice A is the most effective in directly improving accessibility to healthcare services for clients with mental illness and housing instability.
Question 5 of 5
A community health nurse (CHN) suspects that a new client may have a substance use disorder. When getting the health history of the client, the CHN needs to keep in mind that the client may not admit to drug use. What is a primary symptom of substance use disorder?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Denial. A primary symptom of substance use disorder is denial, where individuals may be unwilling to acknowledge their drug use or its negative consequences. This is a common defense mechanism to protect their addiction. Explanation: 1. Denial is a hallmark feature of substance use disorder where individuals may refuse to admit to their drug use. 2. Confusion (A) can be a symptom of acute intoxication but may not be a primary symptom. 3. Forgetfulness (C) can occur with chronic substance use but is not specific to substance use disorder. 4. Mental status changes (D) can be a broad symptom and may not specifically indicate substance use disorder.
