Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it focuses on addressing the underlying issues contributing to alcohol use disorder, such as defense mechanisms and unhealthy behaviors. By learning functional skills to replace these maladaptive coping strategies, the client can develop healthier ways to deal with stress and triggers, ultimately aiding in long-term recovery.
Choice A is incorrect because disulfiram is not used for controlling withdrawal symptoms but rather as a deterrent to drinking.
Choice B is incorrect as physical activity alone cannot address the complex psychological aspects of alcohol use disorder.
Choice C is incorrect as Al-Anon meetings are intended for family members of individuals with alcohol use disorder, not the clients themselves.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: office of the surgeon general. The surgeon general is responsible for overseeing public health initiatives and coordinating efforts to monitor and control the spread of infectious diseases. Voluntary reporting of diseases like Lyme disease to the CDC falls under the jurisdiction of the surgeon general's office. The state health department (choice
B) focuses on state-level public health issues, not national reporting. The hospital infection control department (choice
C) primarily deals with infection control within the hospital setting. The local red cross chapter (choice
D) is focused on disaster relief and humanitarian aid, not disease reporting.
Question 3 of 5
a community health nurse observes the accumulation of garbage at a neighborhood playground. which of the following actions should the nurse take first to promote a clean and safe environment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because engaging neighborhood families to monitor the playground for further trash buildup addresses the immediate issue and involves community members in maintaining the cleanliness of the playground. This action empowers residents to take ownership of their environment and fosters a sense of responsibility towards keeping the area clean and safe. Meeting with community members (
A) may be helpful in the long term but does not address the urgent need for immediate action. Partnering with city officials (
B) and working with local businesses (
C) to improve conditions are important but might involve bureaucratic delays.
Therefore, engaging neighborhood families (
D) is the most effective and timely approach to address the current garbage accumulation issue.

Correct Answer: D

Question 5 of 5
a community health clinic nurse manager is reviewing the incidence rate of chlamydia in the state. in a given year, 3144 new cases were reported and the population was estimated at 325,986. which of the following is the incidence rate in the state for the year?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: about 10 reported cases per 1000 population.
To calculate the incidence rate, you divide the number of new cases (3144) by the total population (325,986) and then multiply by 1000 to express the rate per 1000 population. This gives an incidence rate of approximately 9.64 cases per 1000 population for the state. This choice is correct because it accurately reflects the calculation of the incidence rate for chlamydia in the given population.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: about 300 reported cases per 100,000 population - This is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the calculated incidence rate.
B: about 1 reported case per 10,000 population - This is incorrect as it underestimates the actual incidence rate.
D: about 3 reported cases per 10,000 population - This is incorrect as it also underestimates the actual incidence rate.
