Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is preparing a lecture on lifestyle and risk factors for a college-age audience. The nurse understands that which causes of death are the most common among this age group?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Unintentional injuries, suicide, and homicide are the top causes of death in college-age individuals.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse assesses cranial nerve XII in the client who sustained a stroke. Which action should the nurse ask the client to perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) controls tongue movement, so extending the tongue tests its function. Other actions test different nerves or motor functions, not relevant to cranial nerve XII.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse has completed instructions with a client with atrial fibrillation who will be taking warfarin sodium indefinitely. Which statement by the client indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, and NSAIDs can exacerbate this, especially causing GI bleeding, so they should be avoided without provider approval. Using a soft toothbrush, avoiding alcohol, and carrying medication identification are correct to prevent bleeding and ensure safety.
Question 4 of 5
The camp nurse provides instructions regarding skin protection from the sun to the parents who are preparing their children for a camping adventure. Which statement by a parent indicates a need for further instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sun's rays are as damaging to the skin on cloudy, hazy days as they are on sunny days. Sunscreens are recommended and should be applied before exposure to the sun and reapplied frequently and liberally at least every 2 hours. A hat, long-sleeved shirt, and long pants should be worn when out in the sun. Tightly woven materials provide greater protection from the sun's rays.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing home care dietary instructions to a client who has been hospitalized for pancreatitis. Which food should the nurse instruct the client to avoid to prevent recurrence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pancreatitis involves inflammation of the pancreas, and spicy foods like chili can stimulate pancreatic secretions, potentially triggering a recurrence. The client should eat small, frequent meals that are high in protein, low in fat, and moderate to high in carbohydrates. Bagels, lentil soup, and watermelon are generally bland and acceptable.
