Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A home health nurse is visiting a client who had a stroke 2 months ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the interprofessional care team?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Coughing when swallowing may indicate dysphagia, increasing the risk of aspiration pneumonia, which requires further evaluation by the healthcare team.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is conducting a community assessment. Which of the following information should the nurse include as part of the windshield survey?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Housing quality. During a windshield survey, the nurse observes the physical environment, including housing conditions. This information is crucial for assessing the community's living standards, health risks, and potential environmental health issues. Demographic data (choice
A) is important but can be obtained through other methods. Mortality rate (choice
B) is a statistical measure that may not be directly observed during a windshield survey. Informant interviews (choice
C) involve speaking with community members and are typically conducted separately from the windshield survey. Thus, choice D is the most relevant and essential information to include in a windshield survey.
Question 3 of 5
A home health nurse is assessing a client who has AIDS. Which of the following responses by the client indicates a risk for suicide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. The client stating "I know that everything will be better soon" indicates a risk for suicide as it may suggest a sense of hopelessness and a desire for their suffering to end. This response could reflect a lack of coping mechanisms and a belief that death is the only solution to their current situation.
Choices A, C, and D do not directly indicate a risk for suicide.
Choice A expresses fear of pain, which is a common concern for clients with terminal illnesses.
Choice C indicates seeking support, which is a positive coping mechanism.
Choice D reflects a desire for autonomy and control, which is not necessarily indicative of suicide risk.
Question 4 of 5
A public health nurse is addressing community leaders at a forum about community improvement. The nurse should identify which of the following groups as being the fastest growing segment of the homeless population?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Families who have children. This group is the fastest growing segment of the homeless population because they often face economic hardships, lack stable housing, and have limited access to support services. Families with children are more vulnerable to becoming homeless due to various factors such as job loss, high housing costs, and lack of affordable childcare. Additionally, homelessness among families with children can have detrimental effects on the well-being and development of the children.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: People with substance use disorders may be a significant portion of the homeless population, but they are not necessarily the fastest growing segment.
C: Adolescent runaways are a vulnerable group, but they do not represent the fastest growing segment of the homeless population.
D: Men who are unemployed may contribute to the homeless population, but families with children are experiencing a faster rate of homelessness.
Question 5 of 5
The partner of an older adult client who has Alzheimer's disease reports that he is not eating. The client's partner refuses to assist the client with feeding and insists the client feed himself without help. What is the priority action the nurse should take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assessing the client's ability to self-feed is the priority to determine if assistance is needed and to address potential risks of malnutrition or aspiration.
