Question 1 of 5
a nurse is working with a community health care team to devise strategies for preventing violence in the community. which of the following interventions is an example of tertiaryprevention?
Correct Answer: D

Tertiary prevention focuses on identifying and addressing existing health problems to prevent further complications. By assessing for risk factors of intimate partner abuse, the nurse can intervene early to prevent further harm to the victim.
A, B, and C are not examples of tertiary prevention. A is an example of primary prevention as it aims to educate the community before violence occurs. B is an example of secondary prevention as it focuses on providing resources to those already affected by abuse. C is also an example of primary prevention as it aims to prevent violence before it happens by promoting nonviolence in the community.
Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as it aligns with the goal of tertiary prevention by addressing existing risk factors to prevent further harm.

C) is monitored but not necessarily expected in all patients. Dizziness (
D) can be common but is not a typical expectation unless specified.
Choices E, F, and G are irrelevant. In summary, diplopia is the correct answer as it aligns with the neurological assessment expectations of a nurse, while the other options are either unrelated or less commonly expected in a general nursing context.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The nurse should first assess the living environment and the dynamics within the household to understand the client's support system and potential stressors. This will help in tailoring the care plan effectively. Encouraging the family to join a support group (
B) or providing information about respite care (
C) can be beneficial but should come after understanding the client's immediate environment. Educating the family about the progression of dementia (
D) is important but should not be the first step. Engaging in informal conversation (E) is also essential but should follow the initial assessment.
Question 4 of 5
a community health nurse is working with a group of homeless veterans who have posttraumatic stress disorder. which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C

This intervention is important for individuals with PTSD as it helps to prevent triggers associated with specific locations that may exacerbate their symptoms. By changing the meeting sites, the nurse can create a more supportive and less anxiety-provoking environment for the veterans. Providing coffee and snacks (choice
A) may be a nice gesture but is not directly addressing the veterans' PTSD symptoms. Avoiding discussing traumatic events (choice
B) may hinder the veterans from processing their experiences and seeking support. Teaching deep breathing exercises (choice
D) is beneficial for managing anxiety but may not be sufficient as the sole intervention for PTSD.

B) are a concern, but they are not the leading cause of death. Substance abuse (
C) and gun safety (
D) are important topics, but they are not the primary cause of death for adolescents.
