Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is teaching a group of nursing students about descriptive analytics. The nurse recognizes that which of the following best describes the purpose of descriptive analytics in nursing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Descriptive analytics summarizes and interprets historical data to identify trends and patterns, aiding nurses in understanding past health events and informing care decisions. Predicting outcomes is predictive analytics, developing protocols is prescriptive analytics, and real-time monitoring is not descriptive analytics.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse enters the room of a client and discovers the client with new right-sided weakness and slurred speech. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calling for help is the first action for a suspected stroke, indicated by right-sided weakness and slurred speech, to activate the stroke team. Thrombolytics (
A) require diagnosis confirmation, water (
C) risks aspiration, and carotid massage (
D) is irrelevant.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Parkinson's disease and is starting to display bradykinesia. Which of the following is an appropriate action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Giving extra time for activities accommodates bradykinesia, reducing frustration and promoting independence. Low-protein diets may interfere with medication, fast walking increases fall risk, and passive exercises don't directly address slowness of movement.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is delegating tasks to the assistive personnel (AP). The nurse should direct the AP to complete which of the following tasks first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Providing a snack to a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded is the most urgent task. Lightheadedness in a diabetic client may indicate hypoglycemia, which can lead to serious complications like loss of consciousness or seizures if not addressed promptly. Administering a quick source of glucose stabilizes the client's condition, addressing an immediate physiological need. Other tasks, such as assisting with a bed bath, feeding, or ambulating, are important but less urgent as they do not address an immediate threat to life.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse advises a client with osteoporosis to have three servings of milk or dairy products daily. Which of the following levels of prevention is being used by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary prevention aims to prevent disease onset before it occurs. Advising a client with osteoporosis to consume three servings of milk or dairy products daily ensures adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, helping to maintain bone density and prevent fractures. This is a proactive measure to avoid worsening of the condition. Secondary prevention involves early detection, tertiary prevention manages existing disease, and proactive prevention is not a standard term.
