Nursing Care of Vulnerable Populations Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which predisposes the adolescent to feel an increased need for sleep?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rapid physical growth. During adolescence, there is a significant growth spurt that requires the body to devote more energy to physical development. This increased growth and development can lead to feelings of fatigue and an increased need for sleep to support the body's growth and repair processes. Choice A (An inadequate diet) is incorrect because while diet can impact energy levels, rapid physical growth is the primary factor contributing to the increased need for sleep in adolescents. Choice C (Decreased activity that contributes to a feeling of fatigue) is incorrect as physical inactivity would not directly lead to an increased need for sleep; rather, it could lead to feelings of lethargy. Choice D (The lack of ambition typical of this age group) is incorrect as ambition levels do not directly correlate with the need for sleep during adolescence. Rapid physical growth is the key factor influencing the increased need for sleep in this age group.
Question 2 of 5
should be given to adolescents 11 to 12 years of age with a booster dose at age 16 years. Annual influenza vaccination with either the live attenuated influenza vaccine or trivalent influenza vaccine is recommended for all children and adolescents. The
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it accurately states the recommended vaccination schedule for adolescents aged 11 to 12 years with a booster dose at age 16. This aligns with current CDC guidelines for influenza vaccination. Choice A provides a clear and concise explanation of the correct vaccination protocol based on age group. The other choices do not address the specific age group or vaccination schedule mentioned in the question, making them incorrect. Choice B, C, and D do not provide the recommended information for adolescents aged 11 to 12 years.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse was considering self-employment by starting a home health managed care agency. Which risk is the nurse taking, particularly in the beginning?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Managed care agencies contract with payers, such as insurance companies, to provide specified services to the enrolled clients at a predetermined price. Managed care agencies receive payment before offering services and are responsible for taking the financial risk of providing care to patients within the budgeted allotment. The nurse will not need to worry about patient referrals or personally knowing the clients before referral as this home care agency is part of a managed care group that has enrolled clients that need services. Envy from other nurses is not a risk faced by the nurse starting this business endeavor.
Question 4 of 5
Which is required for an agency to receive reimbursement for care given from Medicare?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Certified home health agencies meet federal standards; therefore they are able to receive Medicare payments for services provided to eligible individuals. Not all home health agencies are certified.
Question 5 of 5
Which is the major assumption of Albrecht's conceptual model?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An underlying premise of Albrecht's conceptual model is that professional satisfaction and effective patient outcomes depend on the education and experience of the home health nurse. Within the Albrecht nursing model, the three major elements for measuring the quality of home health care patient outcomes include structural, process, and outcome elements. Although nurses are usually the case managers, Medicare pays for skilled services, including occupational therapy and physical therapy. If nursing is not involved, the skilled professional would be the case manager.
