Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse is working with a family that is struggling to adapt following the loss of a family member. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Determine the roles of individual family members.

By determining roles, the nurse can assess the dynamics and identify potential areas of support needed. Referring to a grief support group (
A) may be beneficial later but not until the nurse understands the family dynamics. Encouraging specific tasks (
C) and establishing a daily routine (
D) are important steps but should come after understanding individual roles.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. First, determining students' motivation to learn about healthy food choices is essential to tailor the program effectively. By understanding their motivation, the nurse can create engaging and relevant content. Giving positive feedback (
A) is important but should come after assessing motivation. Helping students recognize the value of healthy choices (
B) is crucial but secondary to motivation assessment. Providing resources (
C) is beneficial, but understanding motivation takes precedence in shaping the program.

Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, D, and E. A nurse practicing community-oriented nursing needs to investigate potential health and environmental issues to address community health concerns. Initiating support groups for parents of autistic children promotes community well-being. Participating in local health surveillance activities helps monitor public health trends. Providing health-related education to community groups promotes preventive care and health literacy.

Choice G is not applicable.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working in a shelter following a disaster. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Address the physical needs of clients. In a disaster situation, addressing physical needs such as providing water, food, shelter, and medical care is the priority to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals. This action takes precedence over other choices as it directly impacts survival. Creating diversionary activities (
A) can come later once basic needs are met. Helping gather supplies (
C) is important but not as urgent as addressing physical needs. Exploring feelings (
D) is essential for emotional support but should not be the priority over physical needs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
